Pollies: Labour's Ginny Andersen and National's Mark Mitchell talk Kiri Allan, FamilyBoost, Covid-19 inquiry

The Mike Hosking Breakfast · 2025-07-08

Details have emerged about the career-ending night former Minister Kiri Allan was arrested in Wellington for drink driving.  

Allan resigned immediately after crashing into a parked car and testing over the legal limit in mid-2023.  

Police Minister Mark Mitchell told Heather du Plessis-Allan her behaviour was unacceptable, but he believes in redemption and everyone makes mistakes.  

Labour's Ginny Andersen says there is public interest in knowing what happened, but it must be difficult for Allan to have everything playing out again.
