The keeper of Quarantine Island

From The Panel, 4:49 pm on 6 October 2020

Last week on the show we discussed whether managed isolation facilities should be moved out of the CBD. We heard from Meghan Hughes who lives on - and manages - Quarantine Island / Kamau Taurua, which was used as Otago's quarantine station from 1863-1924. Meghan joins The Panel to share the story of the island.
