Coronavirus: MPs blame Bridges for lack of Māori representation on ERC

From Morning Report, 6:50 am on 6 May 2020

Government MPs on the Epidemic Response Committee are blaming Simon Bridges for the lack of Māori voices at the committee meetings. 

The committee whose job it is to challenge the government's response to Covid 19, has been criticised by Māori health experts and iwi representatives for leaving them out. 

The MPs say most of their requests to hear from Māori have been ignored by the chair.
