Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was forced to abruptly end a press conference in Northland after being heckled by at least two people - one of whom was claiming to be a journalist.
Ardern and Māori-Crown relations Minister Kelvin Davis are in the region viewing the rollout of vaccinations and were speaking to media this afternoon.
Ardern was answering questions from reporters outside, saying that she had seen multiple people getting vaccinated. She was being heckled throughout the press conference by a female member of the public, as well as having her answers interrupted by a man claiming to be a journalist.
"Sir I will shut down the press conference if this continues," Ardern told the man at one point during the exchange.
The man continued interrupting, asking Ardern "why is the vaccine not working in Israel? And you are still pushing it".
