The Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has declined to say which senior Labour Party figures gave her their assurances that there was no sexual assault allegations against a staffer.
The man at the centre of the allegations has resigned from his Parliamentary job.
Ms Ardern says she has personally apologised to the complainants and given her assurances the Party will not investigate situations like this internally ever again.
Political commentator, Dr Bryce Edwards, from Victoria University of Wellington speaks with Karyn Hay about the impact of the Labour Party sexual assault allegations on the Prime Minister's reputation.
