Te Tai Tokerau Border Control founder Hone Harawira is welcoming the high-powered call for unvaccinated people to be blocked from entering the north this summer.
The Northern Region DHBs and Te Kahu o Taonui iwi have contacted the government, advocating that road checkpoints be in place until Northland's vaccination rate for Maori and non-Maori reaches 90 per cent.
Mr Harawira talks to Max Towle.
