National MP Judith Collins wants Cabinet job back

“I was forced to resign over allegations that I was completely exonerated for,” Papakura MP Judith Collins told TV On’e Q+A programme this morning.

“I’ve made it very clear that that's exactly where I'd like to be,” she said.

When asked, “is that where your ambitions end, or do you want to be leader as well?”

The Papakura MP responded with “come on, I’m not even in Cabinet. I’m on the back bench.”

“But I'd say to you that there is no timeframe, from my point of view. It's completely up to the Prime Minister,” she said.

Q+A, 9-10am Sundays on TV ONE and one hour later on TV ONE plus 1. Repeated Sunday evening at 11:30pm. Streamed live at www.tvnz.co.nz
