Christopher Luxon making his statement in the House last night. The Green Party's co-leader says he "snuck" into the House "late last night" to correct the record and it shows he's "not across his brief". Earlier this week Luxon admitted he "misspoke" when he said New Zealand supported "any actions" to prevent Iran having nuclear weapons. Luxon responded saying: "I understand that we are doing that, and the Minister of Immigration will continue to take advice on that too." Swarbrick said today that the Prime Minister had effectively said a blanket extension was happening when "we know it wasn't happening".
