Today we’re launching Substantial Minority: The Missing Covid-19 Inquiry Presentations. Why? The RCI was supposed to hold two weeks of public hearings – one hearing from affected New Zealanders, one questioning the officials who engineered the response. But Ardern, Hipkins, Verrall and Robertson all refused to appear. The Commission cancelled the entire week rather than hear from the Kiwis still waiting to speak. Their research deserves to be heard. So we’re putting it on the record ourselves – before the final report drops in February.
