And I don't think that we did, because I think we got the measure of these people a long time ago.
I think what we're experiencing right now is a sense of injustice, because these people had the power, and they used that power to do things to our lives that no other politicians in the history of this country have done.
They told us not to leave our homes, they shut the border so that we couldn't leave the country or come back in. They ended some businesses through their rules, they effectively forced people out of jobs for not taking a vaccine that I would say most of us don't even bother with now.
Now, we can argue about whether any of that or all of that was justified, but I don't think we can argue about how massive that was. It was huge, unprecedented power.
Now, with power comes responsibility and accountability - and that's where they're letting us down because they are refusing to be held accountable, even if just in answering questions in front of us, for us to be able to see it.
Now, right or wrong, their actions during Covid caused so many people to lose faith in Government. This was their chance, I think, to restore that a little bit.
Instead, what they're doing is they're causing us to lose even more faith in Government. If these people ever tell themselves or us that they are here to serve, it is utter BS.
They're not here to serve. If they were, every single one of them would put their country's expectations of answers ahead of their own ambitions, but they're not.
It's more important for Jacinda to keep managing her brand and living her best international life of glamour. More important for Grant Robertson to keep pulling in that $630,000 a year at Otago. More important for Chippy to try to have another go - deluded - at being Prime Minister again and more important for Ayesha to preserve whatever credibility she has left as a health academic.
But they should know, they can delay accountability, but they cannot prevent accountability. And they will be held accountable.
Maybe through a future Commission of Inquiry one day or maybe just through the history books that eventually trash their reputations like history has trashed so many other politicians, including Muldoon's.
Either way, add to the long list of unpleasant things that we've learned about them, we can now add cowardice to that list too.

The actions & decisions of these 3 arrogant & ideology nutjobs was nothing short of democratic, economic & social terrorism. At best, they should be charged with criminal nuisance for failing in their duty of care to look after & actually serve New Zealanders, their voters. At worst, they should be charged with treason & sent off to Christmas Island. Guaranteed that’s how many feel, especially those who only saw their deceased loved ones being wheeled out the door, not even able to properly say goodbye or have the support of family & friends & grief. These 3 are despicable & cowardly, & not fit to be called human.
This just makes my blood BOIL. We must demand they front up, the commission is wrong, they must be forced to appear
Heather, you are far to kind to the left. They are here to destroy this country. They came very very close under comrade Ardern. They are the face of pure evil. Led by Ardern most evil of all.
Well said Heather.
And secondly it also speaks volumes of Otago University’s morals after gifting an over paid job to the “person” that bankrupted our economy.
This has to be a big eye opener for all of us NZ folk. We elected these people, either by voting for them or not voting at all, or being generally complacent about politics. Holding politicians to account require action not talk.
The writer of this bilge [from holiday in Portugal] alleges .... unfounded info.... [he has to defend the injections he took].... "All of them are assisting the enquiry in private. AI generated spammers would have a field day if they appeared in public.
I bought product online after seeing a very believable presentation by Dr Bloomfield.
Except it was an AI generated scam. I lost money and had to get a new bank card."
They deserve to be AI spammed inside and out...
Well said Heather, unfortunately these outed enemies of the state have set a president for current and future governments to disregard the fundamentals of democracy.
What about 'the doctor'.. bloomfield? Just as culpable as the rest.
He won't be forgotten for what he did, just like Fauci won't be forgotten for what he did.
I am too angry to write what I think . It would be unprintable . They are the despicables . Their evil beyond belief .
Fancy believing Bloomfield after all he did !!!
This comes within a hairs breath to pure, abject communism!
The Four, plus the other eight (including ‘cur doomfield’, and better recognised as the “team of twelve”) should be given the Nuremberg treatment, including punishment.
Just as these cowards did to those at the Freedom Village in the grounds of Parliament, so they are doing to the people of New Zealand.
Their time will come.
Why is anyone surprised? Ardern and co. are proven marxists..... in NZ's case, cultural marxists committed to a 2 tier society.
