The Prime Minister's accepted an apology from cabinet minister Kiri Allan, after she criticised RNZ's culture and treatment of Māori staff at a farewell for former Midday Report host Māni Dunlop - who is also her fiancée.
Allan says she made the comments in a personal capacity but recognises that might not be the public perception and her comments could also have been interpreted as telling the state funded broadcaster how to manage its staff.
Political reporter Giles Dexter has more.
