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

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