Barry Soper: ZB senior political correspondent on Chris Hipkins' incensed speech amid repeal of anti-smoking legislation - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Chris Hipkins has given a seething speech in the House, slamming the Government's unwinding Labour's smokefree laws.

The legislation had restricted retailers who can sell cigarettes, and banned people born after 2008 from buying them.

A Bill scrapping the moves is now in its first reading.

ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says he's never seen behaviour like that from an MP.
