The National Party says the Government needs to take responsibility for the economic fallout of the latest Covid-19 outbreak on businesses and families.
Yesterday Finance Minister Grant Robertson revealed Treasury estimates the Auckland outbreak is costing the country about $500 million a week in lost economic activity.
National's Finance spokesperson Paul Goldsmith says this doesn't take into account the impact on jobs, and the toll it's taking on families.
He told political reporter Yvette McCullough this all comes back to the Government's failures at the border.
