14 year old puts case foward to PM to get international flights back to Dunedin

Checkpoint - A podcast by RNZ - Mondays

A 14 year old campaigning to get international flights back to Dunedin has today put his case to the country's Prime Minister. Up until the Covid-19 pandemic hit, Virgin Australia flew directly between Brisbane and Dunedin each week - but the route didn't reopen once international travel resumed. So last October, Benjamin Paterson started a petition calling for the flights to be brought back, gathering an incredible 25,000 signatures. This morning Benjamin met with Christopher Luxon at the Beehive. Benjamin Paterson speaks to Susana Leiataua.
