New Zealand’s National Party Leader Judith Colling is calling to deport an Australian woman, Lucinda Baulch, who has spent four weeks in hotel quarantine for refusing to be tested for Covid-19.

New Zealand’s Covid-19 response Minister Chris Hipkins says those who stay in quarantine are allowed to refuse testing.

However, the law allows authorities to keep people in for an additional ten days if they refuse.

Baulch reportedly took part in an anti-lockdown protest in Melbourne last year.
