Premiers against reopening, Afghan evac leaves some behind - a podcast by RNZ

Australia correspondent Karen Middleton joins Kathryn to talk about the Covid situation, with states now into their third, fourth and tenth week of lockdown as premiers push back against talk by Prime Minister Scott Morrison about opening up when vaccination rates hit 70 or 80 percent. The PM has warned its unlikely a land corridor will be established to pull out Afghans who helped Australia and couldn't be evacuated by yesterday's deadline. And in some good news - Australia's Paralympian Dylan Allcott is on the verge of a "golden slam".
