NZ First candidate Michael Laws has been reported as making sexist remarks about women in the Opportunity Party. The New Zealand Herald reported the remarks on 3 November 2026.
The Otago Daily Times reported that Laws made the remarks during an on-air commentary, a segment in which a presenter or guest gives their views on a broadcast. The paper described what he said as a "disgusting" and "sexist" rant about women in the party.
NZ First is one of New Zealand's political parties, and Laws is standing as one of its candidates in the election. The Opportunity Party, which the remarks concerned, is also a political party. Its leader is Qiulae Wong, according to RNZ. Kayla Kingdon-Bebb is one of the party's candidates.
