A former Climate Change Minister says it would be a mistake to withdraw from a global climate deal. 

ACT Leader David Seymour's floated the idea of New Zealand leaving the agreement, saying it's perhaps a discussion for a future election. 

Labour’s calling on Prime Minister Christopher Luxon to recommit to the deal. 

Nick Smith told Mike Hosking it would be great if we could hold a consistent stance on this.  

He says the problem with an issue like climate change is if Government policy is flip-flopping all the time, you're not going to make any progress.
