Isolation exemption for Covid-19 cases 'clumsy and totally inappropriate' - Todd Muller

From Morning Report, 7:28 am on 17 June 2020

The National Party is questioning whether the Government is following its own rules around compassionate exemptions.

Exemptions have now been suspended until the Health Minister is confident the mistake won't happen again.

National Party leader Todd Muller speaks to Susie Ferguson.
