Labour's police spokesperson is calling out the Police Minister for refusing her request to meet with an Auckland police inspector.
Ginny Andersen asked to visit the Albany police station, but Mark Mitchell's office said no.
In a statement, Mitchell says he cannot support a generic request to visit a station, with no context, with a week’s notice.
Andersen told Ryan Bridge she followed what she considers a well-established practice, which Mitchell himself has followed before.
She says she and Chris Hipkins never made any attempt to block Mitchell's visits when he was in opposition.
