Young Nationals Support Nelson MP
"The New Zealand Young Nationals unconditionally back National Party MP and ex-Young National Nick Smith," says Young Nationals Chairman Jamie Simpson.
"Nick Smith is a hard-working MP who has always stood up for his constituents.
"Young Nationals are disappointed by the Solicitor-General's decision, but strongly support Nick Smith's move to fight the charge.
"Like Dr Smith, we are determined to see the secretive Family Court is opened up for public scrutiny.
"The issues of family are too important for our young people for them to be hidden away behind closed doors.
"Nick is a former office-holder in Young Nationals and we stand by him 100%," Jamie Simpson says.
