Neale Jones and Brigitte Morten talk to Kathryn about the Govenment's ongoing plans to deal with the Covid delta outbreak as two positive cases in Hamilton and Raglan see parts of  Waikato move to level 3. Is an elimination strategy still feasible? The Prime Minister is announcing a roadmap today, and National and ACT's Covid plans have been announced 

Neale Jones was Chief of Staff to Labour Leader Jacinda Ardern, and prior to that was Chief of Staff to Andrew Little. He is the director of Capital Government Relations.

Brigitte Morten is a director with public and commercial law firm Franks & Ogilvie and a former senior ministerial advisor for the previous National-led government.
