Who to believe over the Government keeping National abreast of Covid-19 decisions.

Cabinet decided yesterday that Auckland would move to alert level two from midnight on Sunday - and the rest of the country will remain at level two.

National leader Judith Collins told Mike Hosking that her health spokesman, Dr Shane Reti, had not been consulted about yesterday's decision after Ardern suggested Health Minister Chris Hipkins had been having "good, solid, frequent engagement" with the Opposition.

"The Prime Minister may wish a lot of things to happen but delivery is not a strong point."

She said the National Party had received no briefing.

"We didn't have any of the health information. She needs to front up with that information and allow the public to see on what basis she's made that decision."

She said there was no way the border wasn't going to leak after the "absolute mess" of testing disorganisation was revealed.
