3174 (2024). Rt Hon Chris Hipkins to the Prime Minister: Does he stand by his statement of 11 March regarding comments made by Hon. David Seymour on TVNZ journalists “I think he's expressing his views. As I said, he may not have expressed it the way that I would have expressed it, but the point is he's free to do so”, if so, why?

Rt Hon Christopher Luxon: Yes, because he is entitled to his view and to express that view in his own way.
