Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has defended Dr Siouxsie Wiles for her maskless beach visit that saw her come under fire from National Party leader Judith Collins.

[…] Ardern is the latest to defend Wiles after Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield also came to her defence. 

“I’ve had a message from Siouxsie who described what happened. From what she told me, it didn’t sound like protocols were breached, and I don’t think that the person who went into the water what they did could be described as a swim,” he said earlier.
