Message for Bridges

Wellington: National leader Judith Collins has pulled senior MP Simon Bridges into line over his ‘‘wokester’’ attack on police commissioner Andrew Coster.

She made it ‘‘very clear’’ to Mr Bridges that his comments should be directed at Police Minister Poto Williams and not at New Zealand’s top police official.

‘‘I’ve made it very clear that our focus is on those who actually set the rules and the agenda and that is the minister,’’ she said yesterday. Mr Bridges called him a ‘‘wokester, commissioner’’, essentially implying Mr Coster was too politically correct and wanted to ensure he was not offending anyone with his decisions. — The New Zealand Herald
