Luxon, Mitchell defend Potaka after photo with gang members emerges
PHOTO Christopher Luxon says it would be "disingenuous" to say a photo circulating online of National MP Tama Potaka posing with gang members is the same as images of Labour, Green and Te Pāti Māori MPs. Labour candidate for Tamaki Makaurau, Kerrin Leoni, resigned on Friday after video and an image
Earlier this month Hipkins had distanced himself from Green and Te Pāti Māori MPs and candidates who had attended an election hui at a gang pad and posed for photos with mongrel mob members.
On Saturday Luxon was asked whether he was aware of any images of his MPs or candidates posing with gang members and whether he would consider that acceptable given his tough criticism of opposition MPs and candidates.
"He's not campaigning, he's not fundraising, he's not raising funds for the mongrel mob," Luxon told reporters.
