Green Party Minister changes story about EPA meeting

From Morning Report, 6:16 am on 5 April 2018

A Green Party Minister accused of ministerial interference is changing her story about meeting with the Environmental Protection Authority. Eugenie Sage now says she didn't meet with the EPA's chief executive Allan Freeth, having previously said she did, and doesn't think she discussed its controversial chief scientist with him like she said she had. Ms Sage says she got all mixed up, and won't be relying upon on her memory in the future.
