PM blocks Nash from top team but won't criticise Jones
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon blocked Stuart Nash from joining his team of senior ministers after Nash made sexist comments about National MP Katie Nimon. Luxon didn't tell NZ First first. But he didn't criticise NZ First's Shane Jones for his "knee pads" and "butter chicken tsunami" comments. Jones keeps his minister job. Chris Bishop said Nash isn't a minister; Jones is.
