The National Party with Denise Lee: 24th of April, 2020

This week, Simon Bridges became the subject for criticism after he voiced his concerns around the extension of level four, and two weeks in level three. He criticised the government for not doing enough groundwork to progress out of level four sooner, insinuating the government was wasting New Zealanders time. The National Party’s Denise Lee joined Laura Kvigstad, stressing that contact tracing needs to be occurring at a quicker rate echoing Bridges position that there was more the government needed to do. They then later discussed why small businesses are being called the sacrificial lamb under covid 19, answering Laura's questions as to whether the pressures for economic freedom from National are putting New Zealand's covid 19 health outcomes to chance.
