New Zealand’s health minister has described himself as an “idiot” after he flouted his country’s lockdown measures to go on a trip to the beach with his family.
David Clark drove his family 12 miles to the beach in late March during the early stages of the lockdown.
In a statement, Clark, who offered to resign for breaching the restrictions, said: “I’ve been an idiot, and I understand why people will be angry with me.”
He had earlier admitted to driving his van to a park near his home to go mountain biking.
He offered his resignation to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern but kept his job because of the ongoing crisis.
But he has been demoted in cabinet rankings and also lost a secondary position of associate finance minister
