Prime Minister Christopher Luxon joined Heather du Plessis-Allan to chat about his Australia trip.

Lat week, after it was announced four New Zealand MPs would be banned from China for a year, Australia commented condemning China's decision. Luxon responded saying it was not a matter for Australia to be involved in, but today he stated he was 'appreciative' of the support anyway. 

A focus of the trip was economic integration in a 'volatile world', including facilitating infrastructure partnerships.

Luxon said "my job on those things is to be like the super salesman for New Zealand, really is how I look at the international part of my job."
