The Police Minister is convinced the lockdown's working.

Stuart Nash rejects the National Party's push for mandatory quarantining for those returning from overseas.

He told Mike Hosking there's been very few returning Kiwis flouting the rules - and says every single one is being checked on.

Nash says if they haven't had a physical police check - it's because they have let police access their phone location services.
