"Not a good look": Luxon on the Posie Parker rally

National says that the Posie Parker rally wasn't a good look for New Zealand.

Thousands protested Parker's planned speaking tour over the weekend.

Scuffles broke out at Saturday's Auckland rally in Albert Park, and Parker called it off after having tomato juice poured over her.

Green MP Marama Davidson —who was in the crowd— was hit by a motorcycle and required medical attention.

National Leader Chris Luxon told Mike Hosking that they believe in the right to protest, but also in the right to free speech.

He says that from coverage he's seen, the vast majority of people were peaceful but throwing liquid on someone is intimidating behaviour.
