Dr Bryce Edwards: Victoria University political analyst says Chris Hipkins has been 'let down' by Ministerial stand downs

Former Transport Minister Michael Wood's suspension is among the latest Ministerial mishaps under Hipkins' term. The Labour Party has undergone a challenging six months, as the Prime Minister has stood down a Minister every six and half weeks since he took office. Victoria University political analyst Dr Bryce Edwards acknowledges this isn't Chris Hipkins' fault- and thinks this string of bad luck is 'survivable.' "I don't think he's done anything wrong here, but he's been let down by poor quality Ministers around him."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
