Photo: RNZNational leader Judith Collins has slammed the testing of border workers as a "complete failure" and has suggested that the Government has misled the public. Asked where the chain of accountability ended, Collins said it was up to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to answer that question. In the days leading up to the decision, Collins had pushed for the election date to be changed. But National had been pushing for the election date to be pushed back until November, or next year. Although seemingly lukewarm on the new election date, Collins said recalling Parliament was the right move.
