National MP Michael Woodhouse has confirmed he too received private patient details from former National Party president Michelle Boag.  The revelation comes after his colleague Hamish Walker announced on Wednesday he wouldn't be seeking re-election this year after he passed on private Covid-19 patient details to the media. Ms Boag was his source as well and in a statement this morning she says she's resigned from being a National Party member. She says the last few days have underscored the unhealthy relationship she's developed with politics. RNZ's political reporter talks to Kathryn about these latest revelations.
