Labour Leader Chris Hipkins doesn't want people to read too much into him considering his political future as ripples spread from personal allegations made by his ex-wife. 

Jade Paul posted claims on a private Facebook page on Sunday that are now deleted, none of Paul's allegations related to unlawful conduct. 

Hipkins says it wasn't a long deliberation, saying that he recognises the political spotlight can mean loved ones pay a significant price.

"I still love my job and I am absolutely committed to it." 

Speaking about the since-deleted post, The Leader of the Opposition said he denies the allegations and is not commenting further on them at this stage. 

"I'm putting my children first, and I'm not going to get into a public debate with my ex-wife about the breakup of our marriage."  

He also spoke to John MacDonald about the Governments position on potentially aiding the United States in the Strait of Hormuz, and the rise of fuel and food prices in New Zealand.
