    Jacinda Ardern and Chris Hipkins are taking turns shutting down National's Covid-19 plan

    Jacinda Ardern and Chris Hipkins are taking turns shutting down National's Covid-19 plan


    Judith Collins says she wants lockdowns to be a thing of the past when the vaccination rate reaches 75 percent.

    And she wants stranded Kiwis allowed home quarantine-free when we reach 85 percent.

    Hipkins wasn't impressed with the plan.

    He says their plan shows they want to give Kiwis Covid for Christmas.

    The Prime Minister wasn't mincing words either.

    She says the plan's rushed and risky and means everyone in New Zealand would pay the price.
