The Labour Party President says the party handled a February Labour Party youth camp and it's subsequent dealings with sexual assault allegations against young party members badly.
The PM says her party is now taking "ownership of the issue" of sexual assault allegations arising from the February event.
"We are taking this matter seriously, we understand we failed in our duty of care during and after the event," Nigel Haworth said alongside Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern today in Auckland.
Mr Haworth said he is not intending to offer his resignation, and no one within the Labour Party will be resigning.
The PM said she would take the photos down.
Haworth said he has complete confidence in General Secretary General Secretary Andrew Kirton although he was a bit slow off the mark in responding to this incident.
