Broadcaster and former MP Michael Laws has confirmed he will contest the Waitaki electorate on behalf of NZ First.
Party leader Winston Peters said Laws would bring deep experience and leadership to Parliament.
Laws, who currently hosts a programme on The Platform and serves on the Otago Regional Council, said he hoped to become broadcasting minister and could put RNZ “on the chopping list” if he held the portfolio.
He also criticised Prime Minister Christopher Luxon as lacking charisma while praising Peters’ leadership. Laws previously served as a National MP before shortly joining NZ First and later becoming mayor of Whanganui. Read more at Stuff, RNZ and Holyhekatuiteka on X.

Excellent choice, Winston. Michael Laws could be the next leader of the NZ First party when Winston retires.
Have you seen those video clips Mike produced re Jacinda Ardern. This is just one of them.
