Meth evictions: 'I'm sorry, advice we got was wrong' - Bridges

From Morning Report, 7:37 am on 5 June 2018

Housing New Zealand is under fire with claims it wasted $100m on meth testing houses which posed no health risks. The evictions and testing mostly happened under the last National government, so where does responsibility lie? "I'm sorry, that the advice we got was wrong & has made this situation what it is," former government minister, now Opposition leader Simon Bridges says. "We got the wrong advice, we're not technical experts, we thought we were asking the hard questions."
