Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was pleased to be able to visit Whanganui without an impending crisis on her hands. The last time I visited the region, it was the day I learnt of our significant unfortunate Covid outbreak in August last year. I needed to remove Whanganui from being a trigger, she said.
Ardern was in Whanganui on Thursday, visiting one of New Zealand s leading Māori health providers and a programme delivering employment and trades training.
