Some more leaked audio has gotten the Labour Party in trouble, with MP Barbara Edmonds apologising for off-colour comments directed at the Finance Minister.

The audio obtained by the Herald features a moderator asking various Labour MPs whether they'd rather fight "100 duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck."

Edmonds' answer apparently referenced Nicola Willis. 

Willis says she's accepted Edmonds' apology - but this event says a lot about Labour's conduct this election year.

"Step one - demonize your opponent. Step two - waffle on about values. Well, how about just answering the question? I guess that would require some actual policies."
