From Morning Report, 7:50 am on 20 December 2017

The Ministry of Primary Industries has been reprimanded by the Ombudsman's Office for refusing to give Forest and Bird information about its kauri dieback programme. The ministry has been told to apologise for withholding the material, which it eventually did release after Ombudsman Leo Donnelly announced he'd be investigating the matter. Forest & Bird's Central North lsland regional manager Dr Rebecca Stirnemann joins us with her reaction.
