Talkback callers critical of Curran, Ardern's leadership

Clare Curran has resigned as Minister - but is it too little, too late?

That's the view of some callers to Andrew Dickens today, who were overwhelmingly critical of how the situation has been handled.

The main criticism was levelled at Curran for using a Gmail account to conduct ministerial business.

Callers Jeff was critical, with Jeff saying that using a private email address was 'obviously wrong' and 'stupid'.

Another caller says Curran has shown poor judgement. 

Some callers were divided on whether or not Ardern should have been more upfront about Curran's resignation.

The Prime Minister spoke to Chris Lynch hours before Curran resigned and gave no hint that the Minister would be resigning. 

Callers were split on how Ardern handled it, with some happy that she gave Curran space while others think she should have been more upfront. 

One caller says the damage will be 'far more wide reaching'. 

Graham says that Ardern needs to show more ruthless leadership. 

Though one caller was a little more realistic, saying that none of this will have any impact on him and his weekend.
