My question is to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. In her travels, the foreign minister has made it clear that she is able to have constructive meetings with the President of Iran, the President of Russia, and the President of the Philippines. How can the foreign minister claim any credibility or bring any professionalism to her job if we're meant to believe that she can work with Iran, Russia and the Philippines, but maybe not New Zealand?
