Stuart Nash has resigned his police portfolio after revealing he'd called the Commissioner to ask about appealing a court case.
In an interview with Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking, Stuart Nash referenced the conversation with Andrew Coster while addressing the need for appropriate punishments for offenders.
ZB's senior political correspondent Barry Soper says that Chris Hipkins was 'puffing his chest' in Parliament after Stuart Nash emailed his resignation.
Barry Soper noted Chris Hipkins' use of the word 'removing' in his statement, suggesting the Prime Minister may have played a larger role in Nash's departure.
