Inside Parliament: PM 'quite sluggish' in initial handling of Russian hacking threat

The 1 NEWS political team discuss recent fears NZ has been targeted by Russian state-sponsored hackers.

This week on the Inside Parliament podcast political editor Jessica Mutch and political reporter Andrea Vance look at the government’s handling of the Russian hacking incident.

The Russian government was back in the news after British and American intelligence agencies accused Russia of a global cyber-attack last week.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has been criticised for her response to the Russian hacking saga.

Political Editor Jessica Mutch says the prime minister was “quite slugglish” once it broke and believes she could have responded sooner.
