A shock start to the week for the government with the resignation of the Justice Minister, Kiri Allan, after being charged with reckless driving and resisting arrest. Ms Allan was involved in a car accident in Wellington last night around 9pm and was taken into police custody and held at the Wellington Central Police station until around 1am. The Prime Minister Chris Hipkins moved swiftly this morning - saying she is not in a fit state to hold a Ministerial warrant. Kathryn speaks with RNZ's Deputy Political Editor Craig McCulloch.
