There are growing calls for Labour to arrange a snap election following Kiri Allan's arrest and resignation.

Kiri Allan is the latest Minister to depart following Stuart Nash and Michael Wood exiting after getting caught up in controversy.

NZME business commentator Fran O'Sullivan believes Chris Hipkins needs to put the current Labour Government out of its misery with an early election.

"It's still hard to come back, because you don't expect to have a Justice Minister remonstrating with the police. That's the bit that raises the questions."
