Jacinda Ardern prepares for UN New York visit

From Morning Report, 8:53 am on 21 September 2018

The Prime Minister has cleared the decks before her trip to the United Nations next week. Jacinda Ardern leaves tomorrow for New York for the annual UN leader's week. Yesterday she removed Meka Whaitiri as a minister, earlier in the week the Government settled differences over lifting the refugee quota and finally nailed down the new Crown-Maori relations agency. Ms Ardern told RNZ deputy political editor Chris Bramwell the sooner any issue is resolved the better, regardless of whether there is an international trip on the horizon.
