A Northland mayor isn't hiding his frustration, with the blunder that forced Northland into an 11-day Covid lockdown last October.
The Government accused the two women who sparked the lockdown of using false travel documents to get across the Northland border, allegedly to be sex workers within the gang scene.
But documents obtained by our newsroom show the women weren't sex workers, had no gang links, and had correct documentation, issued in error.
Speaking to Mike Hosking, outgoing Far North Mayor John Carter isn't hiding his feelings.
“It just pisses you off, it makes you angry. This is just typical of the invisible, arrogant Wellington bureaucracy.”
