Jason Walls: ZB political editor on Prime Minister Luxon removing portfolios from Melissa Lee and Penny Simmonds - The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin

Prime Minister Chris Luxon has pulled no punches in his first Cabinet reshuffle during his tenure.

Media Minister Melissa Lee and Disabilities Minister Penny Simmonds have both been dropped from their portfolios, after a string of controversies surrounding them.

ZB political editor Jason Walls says Luxon has acted on the number one rule in politics to remove all distractions.

But he says he has a bit more sympathy for Lee, where the Government was hamstrung on what they could do amid the media's woes.
