People right to be nervous about incoming deportees - Muller

From Morning Report, 6:38 am on 13 July 2020

The National Party leader says people will be rightly nervous to learn that New Zealanders are being deported from Australia to stay in a government-run isolation facility.

It was revealed yesterday that a dedicated facility has been set up to allow the deportees to isolate for 14 days, but it hasn't been revealed where or what the facility is.

Given recent escapes from managed isolation facilities, Todd Muller says the plan raises some serious concerns.

He spoke to RNZ reporter Matthew Theunissen.
