After Kiri Allan's car crash resignation, what now for Labour?

The Front Page - A podcast by NZ Herald

Justice Minister Kiri Allan has resigned from Cabinet after being charged with careless use of a motor vehicle and failure to accompany a police officer.   This comes off the back of a tough period for Allan, who until a week ago had been on mental health leave. She was also embroiled in a scandal about the treatment of staff. This is a major blow for the Labour Party only three months out of the election, with Allan one of a number of other Labour Ministers who have also lost their posts.  What does this mean for a Labour Party desperate to show the voting public it’s fit to govern? NZ Herald deputy political editor and host of the On the Tiles podcast Thomas Coughlan explains to Damien what this resignation means for Allan and Labour.  Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
