Luxon calls Stuart Nash's maternity leave comments 'sexist,' labels NZ First 'manosphere'

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon called NZ First candidate Stuart Nash's comments about National MP Katie Nimon's maternity leave "sexist" and "grossly inappropriate," and said Nash and NZ First were "channelling the manosphere." Nash had texted former minister Chris Finlayson calling Nimon "the laziest MP" he'd ever come across. NZ First leader Winston Peters was overseas and deputy Shane Jones declined to comment.
