Labour leader Chris Hipkins says the threshold for government intervention in Wellington City Council hasn't been met.
Talking to Nick Mills, he said the council still has an opportunity to pass its long term plan and show government it can function properly.
"Councillors arguing amongst each other is local democracy."
"The level of dysfunction has got to be a bit higher than people just disagreeing with each other."
Hipkins also discussed the state of the health system, the latest inflation figures and Labour's position on the fast track legislation.
