Chris Luxon today confirmed he would work with New Zealand First post-election if absolutely necessary- but reiterates his preference is a National-Act Government.

Peters says Luxon's been under media pressure to make a call and has taken the time to make the right decision.

He says he'd be happy to take Luxon's call post-election.
