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