Covid-19: National not happy over no government review into protest

From Morning Report, 6:16 am on 18 March 2022

The government says it has no plans right now to broadly review the recent occupation of parliament's grounds and the subsequent violence that roiled the capital.

The police minister says a review of police actions is being left to the police watchdog.

Labour has also blocked a select committee from questioning the police commissioner over the protest, a move National justice spokesperson Paul Goldsmith says shows that the government "has no interest in transparency".

Goldsmith spoke to Corin Dann.
