Marama Davidson has been required to explain her controversial outburst at the Posie Parker protest.
After Davidson blamed 'white cis men' as the leading cause of violence, Prime Minister Chris Hipkins was forced to come to her defence at today's post-Cabinet briefing.
Hipkins said her comments were inappropriate, but it was important to consider context, as Davidson had been hit by a motorcycle and confronted on camera by Counterspin shortly after.
ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says it's incredible that Marama Davidson would come out and say something that inaccurate.
