Jacinda Ardern says her father Ross wouldn't want to make the dawn raids about him

Ross Ardern was a junior police offer in Auckland in the mid seventies and took part in the raids which the Prime Minister has apologised for, on behalf of the Crown..

Ardern says the police were simply following orders - and had no say or no choice but to put the raids into effect.

Ardern says it's not about the police, it's about the community and the Government.
