Prime Minister Scott Morrison has returned from a a two-day visit to New Zealand following the annual leaders’ meeting with his Kiwi counterpart Jacinda Ardern.

The meeting, held in Queenstown, was dominated by discussions about the coronavirus pandemic and the impact it has had on the Indo-Pacific region and the tourism sector that has been ravaged by travel restrictions, as well as China’s growing influence and economic coercion.

National affairs editor Rob Harris travelled to New Zealand for the leadership talks and today he joins Nathanael Cooper on Please Explain to discuss what happened.
