The youth wing of the New Zealand First party had a big win at the annual conference yesterday when it convinced the majority of members to reconsider drug policy. It's now up to MPs to make the final call on whether to re-evaluate its stance and join Labour and the Greens in supporting drug testing at festivals. RNZ political reporter Jo Moir was in Christchurch at the party conference and asked senior MP Shane Jones whether the youth wing was driving the party to change.
