Photo: NZH FileNational leader Judith Collins has pulled senior MP Simon Bridges into line over his "wokester" attack on Police Commissioner Andrew Coster. Collins said this morning that she has made it clear to Bridges that National "does not attack commissioners". But Collins argued that Bridges – a former National leader – was only reflecting the frustrations of frontline police. In a press release, she made it clear National was blaming "the Labour Government" for what she called a "soft approach to crime".
