National Party leader Judith Collins has ramped up her attempts to dent Labour leader Jacinda Ardern's credibility, saying Ardern lied about Covid-19 and failed on so many promises nobody should believe her now. Among her claims, Collins said Ardern lied about the Covid-19 testing of border workers and she hoped Ardern sued her for that statement: "happy to prove it." Collins then went to Waikanae, where the bowling club was full for her public meeting alongside Otaki candidate Tim Costley. It can be done if every single person goes out and party votes National. In Waikanae, she claimed Ardern lied when she had said all staff working at the border or in managed isolation and quarantine facilities were being regularly tested for Covid-19.
