Steven Joyce: Former Cabinet Minister on the formation of Government - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

There's no clue yet on how long it will take to form a government following today's special vote count.

At two this afternoon to results of around 570-thousand votes will be released by the Electoral Commission.

The results will likely dictate whether National and ACT need New Zealand First to run the country.

Former Finance Minister, Steven Joyce, told Mike Hosking that how fast National can form a Government will be determined on their future coalition partners.

He says they've been talking about getting it sorted sometime next week, but he wouldn't bet the house on it.
