Let me tell you, when he says that the Covid Inquiry is providing a platform for those who have conspiracy theorist views, he is trying to undermine it, and he's doing that. So it doesn't matter what the outcome of the inquiry is, people have already written it off as a nut job investigation.
I suspect Chippy already knows that he's not going to come out of this flash. Neither is Jacinda. Neither is Ashley. Neither is Grant.
Because we already know what went wrong. We can see that the lockdowns went too long. We know that the border was done badly. We know how much money was printed, to name just a few things that they did wrong.
It's kind of rich of Chris Hipkins to complain that the terms of reference have been deliberately constructed to achieve a certain outcome, because that's coming from the guy whose government did exactly the same with the original Covid Inquiry.
They set up such a limited set of terms of references that we had to set up a second inquiry after they lost the election just to get to the stuff that we actually care about, which is the mandates and the Auckland lockdown, and so on.
They set up an inquiry, deliberately designed their words to only learn lessons, not assign blame when actually blame, or you can call it just taking responsibility, is exactly what a lot of us affected by all of this stuff would like to see.
But what really bothers me about what Chris Hipkins is doing is the continual demonising of conspiracy theorists. Now, look, I don't love a conspiracy theorist. They're a bit nutty. I've had to sit through lectures about the world order hours on end, trying to be polite and pretending that you care because you love the person, right? A lot of these people went down the rabbit hole because Labour forced to the jab on them, so they went off to do their own research and they came back a bit strange.
They shouldn't be excluded. They may be conspiracy theorists, but they're still our friends and our brothers and our uncles, even if they're a bit slightly different at the moment. Conspiracy theorists or not, they were as affected by these decisions as everyone else, therefore, they get a say too.
And whatever, by the way, happened to “they are us”? Or does that only apply when it suits Labour?

I have always believed it right to have polio, tetanus, German measles vaccines for example. A “vaccine” that didn’t stop infection or transmission, (and no one was sure if it may alter one’s natural immunity) was a step too far and making it mandatory criminal.
Heather in this day and age quite frankly the difference between a theory being a conspiracy to it being a reality is about 6-12 months. Primaritly because of the BS touted by politicians and repeated ad nausium by the MSM and their cohort 'experts'.
Not all teories for sure, but look around at the reality of who said what and when and who demonised them for the statement and then suddenly what they said would happen did!
That is why people no longer trust their politicians, the media, their doctors to a degree and that disaffectation was so easily created and is now hard to win back.
Hipkins of course is just gaslighting as usual to ensure their is enough 'barrier' between him and the truth so he can claim some form of plausible deniability.
Remember, as many people will never forget that the 'vaccine' for Covid 19 was never going to be mandated and no one would be punitively affected and then next minute we had a two tier society, yip, yip it is what it is.......
and let NZ see the Pfizer C19 contract in full. There have been persistent rumours.
Stop calling him chippy heather. This is a cute nickname for a good person, a chip off the old block. This evil weasel is neither. The fact that he does not even have the humility to say sorry, we got things wrong, shows his true character. I remember power gping to his head during covid. Instead of opening the border around auckland, hipkins thought it would be a great idea to leave the border shut, and ask Aucklanders to apply for papers from the govt to leave the border by car at a set time and place. A bit similar to Miq. Dear old Sturmbanfuhrer Hipkins thought that he could set up a type of East Berlin. Bless his heart. Thank goodness this idea was seen as too mad, even for the labour party.
Your mobile phone rings because your phone company knows exactly where you are, therefore the Govt knew also.
Having you take pix of mandatory QR codes was an exercise in getting you to accept Govt control of you - it achieved nothing for the public good and was another of the Labour's massive wastes of your money..
Just like the Stasi with people snitching on you if you didn't obediently raise your phone and comply.
Pure evil.
Yeeeees...... I was labelled a "Conspiracy Theorist" by folk I had thought educated and intelligent. I was a 'CT' because I read in blatant graphic print on the WEF and WHO websites EXACTLY what their plans were [are still?] WEF still sends me their latest drivel. The wallies running WEF and WHO are/were crazy enough to imagine nobody else could see what the plans were!!! Who is - s t u p i d ??? Never spoken to these poor souls since.
Yes, Hipkins could be a dead ringer for Erich Honecker in many respects. Can we exile him to Chile too? Living in Berlin in the 1970/80's we traversed the Berlin 'corridor' many times. When we had to travel through Auckland during the Covid lock down, we made a few comparisons to that. The only difference was the police were great though they seemed young. Though they were not as young or emaciated as the poor young Russian conscripts that manned the barriers back in the day. Let Hipkins loose again and we'll all end up emaciated!
Agreed Anon 8:59 , A "chippy" is a term in the construction industry we call builders or carpenters, Hipkins would not rise to that level of required competence.
What a condescending piece of claptrap. This from an author who can’t even be bothered to check her grammar and spelling. She consistently uses words such as wanna (want to), gonna (going to) among others. It’s hard to take her seriously. At least she appears to know how to use apostrophes correctly.
Isn't it the tactic of narcissists to demonize those who don't agree with them ? Rather than have a rational discussion these autocrats insist always that they are the real victims of abuse and with the Covid tyranny it was disinformation from evil nutters trying to undermine their 'kind' and absolutely true stance and actions.
Wouldn't it have been more rational for Hipkins to say "We may not have got everything right but we did our best with what we knew at the time" ?
But oh no, these tyrants believe they were perfect ."We (alone) are the main source of truth" . Unbelievable.

Ardern, Hipkins, and all the rest of the traitors dangling on the puppet strings may well have reason to fear the consequences of this latest enquiry. We can only hope so.
I really hope that his Political career is destroyed by the enquiry and he has to actually go and find a job in the real world which he has never experienced. Never forget and never ever forgive. He needs to be treated with absolute disdain and contempt for the rest of his life.
NZ, not we, gave them gongs. That really bothers me.
Anon@5.33 - Amen to that! And that's ignoring the other economic devastation that he and his useless colleagues were party to.
GONGS now mean n o t h i n g.... nada....
Hello, I'm Heather du Plessis Allen. I am stupid as I will set out to prove here. I am one of that strange breed - I am not a Kiwi but in this I am like them - who moan about success through having no clue what I am talking about.
Because when I talk about anything that Labour was involved with, I make a point of having not the faintest idea what any kind of useful information says.
You can tell that straight away when I say lockdowns went on too long. From 2020 - 2022 when the lockdowns were in place, NZ had the lowest COVID death rate of 180 countries.
But I like to project the image of a business person, so I was one of the ones who wanted lockdowns gone. When they did go, very predictably more people started dying awful COVID deaths. But we kind of keep quiet about that - how can I criticise Jacinda, when I caused people do die?
And so like my aging husband, I like keeping Jacinda in my sights. That further information thar by 2024 when COVID eased, NZ COVID death rare was an exceptionally low 122th of 180 countries, is something else I prefer not to mention.
Because I am Newstalk warrior my base is the elderly and ignorant. Misinformation is our thing. If we told the truth our people would get bored and turn us off.
To Basil and anon @ 8.59. Agree, I think it was the great Bob Jones who went around calling him Napkins. That seems much more fitting for a far left nut job.
And the vaccines ensured you didn't catch or transmit C19. It has been confirmed what we all suspected - that it was a Chinese bioweapon, made in a lab in wuhan, and it turned into a respiratory bug less virulent than the flu...the flu still kills more each year than covid did.
What's astonishing is that the whole world just shut down.
(BTW having come from overseas - I know multiple people that covid killed.)
The lesson is - we all have to die from something eventually - whether you're ready or not.
Oh and stop buying cheap crap off Temu.
Ah....... dear "Heather", but lockdowns or not, good obedient vaccinated people are STILL falling dead with "no explanation" - [happened to a woman I know only weeks past.....] The undertakers KNOW.
Napkins, yes quite apt, he could have an alter-ego called Nappies.
