From Morning Report, 7:38 am on 21 November 2017

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has come under fire from National, now the Opposition in Parliament, for pressuring Australia over its treatment of asylum seekers on Manus Island. Judith Collins says it's "staggering" Ms Ardern had said she'd received no intelligence briefings on four boatloads of asylum seekers bound for New Zealand that were, according to Australian media, turned around. Opposition spokesperson for Foreign Affairs Gerry Brownlee joins Gerry Brownlee to discuss.
