Pollies: Labour's Megan Woods and National's Mark Mitchell on Andrew Coster as Police Commissioner

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB

The Police Minister won't say if the Police Commissioner will be keeping his job.  Mark Mitchell has met with Andrew Coster for the first time since taking on the role, after previously being an outspoken critic of Coster in opposition.  Coster says the meeting went well and Mitchell has confidence in him.  But Mitchell told Mike Hosking that he'll be having further meetings with Coster to discuss his future, including another meeting today.  He says Coster has to deliver on the new government's policies and priorities, including an increased presence on the frontline.  Labour’s Megan Woods told Hosking that what she’s hearing is a whole lot of ice skating around the question of whether Mitchell has confidence in Coster or not.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
