Prime Minister Christopher Luxon is facing questions over a clash in the government coalition over a recently signed free trade deal with India.

NZ First leader Winston Peters has claimed it could mean “tens of thousands of people” arriving onshore and taking opportunities “away from New Zealanders”.

National has strongly denied this. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said Peters was “wrong” about the China FTA and “he’s wrong on this one too”.

The Prime Minister will be speaking to RNZ’s Morning Report shortly.
