National leader Judith Collins is in "high energy" mode heading into the last week of the campaign, as she attempts to shake off a disappointing seven days.
Speaking to the Herald, she described a week where she has had MPs leaking against her and accusations of supporter planting on her walkabouts as a "distraction".
To make matters worse for Collins, her party is still well behind Labour in the polls.
Even with the support of Act, she's still well behind a potential Labour/Greens alliance.
