Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern admits calling a COVID-positive security worker a liar was "a bit blunt" - but it doesn't change her view that everyone has a role to play. 
Ardern made the comments on Wednesday, after officials from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) - which oversees managed isolation (MIQ) - told the Health Select Committee about the security worker's COVID-19 test history. 
MBIE chief executive Carolyn Tremain revealed the worker at Auckland's Grand Millennium MIQ facility - who tested positive for COVID-19 last week - had not been previously tested since November, despite a requirement for him to be tested fortnightly.
