Former Labour Cabinet Minister turned NZ First supporter, Stuart Nash, has quit his job after a comment about women.

RNZ reports Nash has resigned from recruitment firm Robert Walters, after a remark about womens' bodies on the Platform. 

The agency launched a formal review over the comments, which it said were made in a personal capacity, and were deeply inappropriate and didn't reflect the values or standards of the business. 

NZ Herald political editor Thomas Coughlan says Nash's comments are likely to negatively effect his chances within NZ First, given leader Winston Peters isn't a fan of bad language.
