Former Labour MP says the party may need to weigh up Hipkins' future as leader

Former Labour MP Stuart Nash has suggested the party needs to have some conversations about its future.

NZ First leader Winston Peters has ruled out working with Labour after the 2026 election if Chris Hipkins is still in charge.

Nash says this doesn't necessarily mean Peters has ruled out working with Labour - and the party will need to make some big decisions.

"You go into politics to be in Government - so it is a really interesting dilemma. Now it may be that the situation doesn't arise, but I can see a situation where the Labour caucus has to make a very important decision."
