An opposition politician in Australia is hitting out at Prime Minister Scott Morrison, saying he's not only to blame for their own COVID-19 outbreak - but New Zealand's too.

Morrison earlier criticised New Zealand's COVID-19 response, telling 9 News an elimination strategy is no longer practical with the Delta variant.

The commander in charge of New Zealand's Defence Force operations has described the Taliban's refusal to allow Afghan nationals access to Kabul's airport as a "worrying development" as he says our troops are "up against it" ahead of a looming deadline.

Kabul's airport remains a chaotic site as nations attempt to extract their citizens from Afghanistan, which fell the Islamic fundamentalist Taliban earlier this month. Forces on the ground are also trying to evacuate Afghan interpreters and others who worked with their countries' troops and may now be the target of Taliban reprisals.

OPINION: Whether it is from politeness or a lack of curiosity, it is rare for journalists or commentators to dwell on Jacinda Ardern's religious history and how it might have shaped her politics.

When the Prime Minister is occasionally asked, she bats the question away with a stock answer: she rejected religion in her mid-twenties and never looked back. As far as the public knows, the Prime Minister was brought up as a Mormon but renounced her faith in 2005 - and that was that.

The current political crisis in Afghanistan worsens by the day, and Geoffrey Miller argues what unfolds in Kabul could have far-reaching implications and result in a big change to New Zealand’s geopolitical landscape.

Last week’s dramatic fall of Kabul to the Taliban brought New Zealand troops rushing back to Afghanistan – just three months after its 20-year mission there was to have ended.

It was a night of celebration and mingling that attendees would later describe as “motivating”, “inspirational” and an opportunity for “great networking”.

Ironically, it was the same night that plunged scores of New Zealanders into two weeks of self-isolation after someone who attended the event tested positive for the Delta variant of Covid-19.

Five Aucklanders who turned up for their Covid-19 vaccine last month may have got a dose of saline solution instead, but the Ministry of Health still has not told them.

The ministry still has not been able to say what will be done to ensure those affected will receive two full Pfizer doses.
