Watch live: Christopher Luxon, Nicola Willis hold press conference

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and Finance Minister Nicola Willis are in Auckland and are set to take questions from the media.

It comes as the latest data from the Census 2023 is released showing Wellington City is home to the highest proportion of people who identify as the belonging to the LGBTIQ+ community.

It also shows cigarette smoking rates have almost halved since 2013 and the number of people working from home increased almost 60% between 2018 and 2023.

The stand-up also comes days after registration for the FamilyBoost rebate opened – households earning up to $180,000 can register for a rebate through Inland Revenue’s myIR platform

Luxon will most likely be asked about reports New Zealand Police is seeking to waive diplomatic immunity so charges can be laid against a partner of an Australian diplomat understood to have been involved in an “altercation” in Wellington early on Sunday morning.
