Further details will be released at 10am on Monday how the government intends to prioritise stranded New Zealanders on mercy flights from New South Wales.

Carol Taupau is 26 weeks pregnant - she flew to Sydney at the end of last month for her Aunt's funeral - now she's stranded and desperate to be reunited with her partner and her two young children.
Reporter Kate Gregan asked her how she is feeling.
