Judith Collins announced her party's Economic Development plan in Auckland - which included a pledge to create 10,000 new jobs a month.

But she was forced to defend herself after questions were raised about her proposing review of Auckland Council without the knowledge of the party's spokesperson.

Māni Dunlop spoke to Anneke Smith, who's been with her on the campaign trail.
