He refers to Jacinda Ardern as New Zealand's "tiresomely woke Prime Minister".

"What's all the fuss about masks?" is the title of an official-looking pamphlet that was being thrust in the face of Wellington train commuters yesterday.

The flyer by Billy Te Kahika's group The Freedom Alliance, perfectly matched the Covid-19 colour scheme, came complete with Ministry of Health logos and even featured the Director-General of Health.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says overseas noise about comments made by Foreign Affairs Minister Nanaia Mahuta is unnecessary after UK media claimed the Five Eyes had become a group of four.

Laying out New Zealand's perspective on its relationship with China, Mahuta said in a speech on Monday there were some matters in which the two countries "do not, cannot and will not agree", before pinpointing concerns with Beijing's interference in Hong Kong's democracy and the treatment of Uighurs in Xinjiang.
