Muller ditches hat

National leader Todd Muller won’t be bringing his controversial ‘‘Make America Great Again’’ hat to his new office. The hat was the centre of Muller’s first controversy as National leader when it was seen in a photograph of his Parliament office and mentioned in a profile of Muller on The Spinoff. Muller will now be moving to the much more salubrious office of the leader of the Opposition. ‘‘I’ve packed it up in a box when I left the office and it will stay in the box,’’ he said. ‘‘It’ll be replaced with a National Party cap,’’ said his deputy Nikki Kaye. Muller had defended the hat, saying he was obsessed with politics and that it was a souvenir brought back from a trip to the US during the 2016 election.
