National leader Chris Luxon says working with New Zealand First isn't their first preference, but they will if they have to.  

After weeks of questions, Luxon's confirmed this morning he would work with them.  

He's also suggested Chris Hipkins would do the same, despite Labour and NZ First both ruling each other out.  

Luxon told Mike Hosking the election isn't done and dusted – it'll be extremely close. 

He says his strong preference is for a National Act coalition.
