Audio on demand of Labour Leader Phil Goff's standup press
conference held this afternoon at Parliament. Phil Goff
answered extensive questioning on his knowledge of,
decisions and judgments made around the Darren Hughes
affair. Mr Goff said he did not believe he had made any
mistakes in the matter but that he accepted that this may
not be the view of everybody.
Labour Chief Whip Darren Hughes resigned on Friday under a cloud after it was revealed on Wednesday that he was being investigated by the police for an early March incident of a sexual nature involving an 18-year-old university student.
According to several media reports the 18-year-old was seen after he left the Hataitai house of Labour Deputy Leader Annette King (where Hughes lives as a border) distressed and naked. It is beleived he was subsequently picked up by police and then made a complaint.
