Chris Bishop: Transport Minister on extending Warrants of Fitness to two years, rumours of a coup in the National Party

A senior National MP insists the party is focused on governing, despite growing unrest around Prime Minister Christopher Luxon’s leadership.   Our newsroom understands from three sources that a fortnight ago, Luxon didn’t respond to the party’s whip Stuart Smith, who tried to raise concerns about his support in caucus.  It’s understood MPs pushing for change could make a move in the next fortnight, with the Prime Minister likely to be formally presented with concerns.  Chris Bishop told Mike Hosking there's no coup, but won't say whether he’s aware of other colleagues seeking to replace Luxon.  He says many people —including Luxon— want the party to do better.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
