Labour leader Chris Hipkins is facing sharp criticism after confirming he will not give public testimony to New Zealand’s Covid-19 Royal Commission.
Detractors accuse Hipkins—who oversaw vaccine mandates, nationwide lockdowns, and other pandemic measures—of avoiding accountability for the social and economic fallout of those policies.
They allege that thousands suffered adverse vaccine effects, including injury and death, under his watch, while businesses closed and families were separated during critical periods.
Hipkins has also been the subject of personal allegations, including claims of a broken marriage following an affair and an ongoing custody dispute, according to X user @MatuaKahurangi. Opponents argue these personal controversies underscore what they see as a pattern of self-interest and evasion, both in politics and private life.
Chris Hipkins gleefully shoved vaccine mandates down New Zealanders’ throats, swore they were “safe and effective” while thousands suffered injury and some even death, now refuses to front up to the Covid-19 Royal Commission in public.

Spines missing. Accountability absent. ଳ
When the moment came to front up at the Covid Inquiry, these four key decision-makers turned to jelly.
Jacinda Ardern. Chris Hipkins. Grant Robertson. Ayesha Verrall.
All played a role in decisions that divided families, cost jobs, and… pic.twitter.com/yfCodjd7h7— REALITY CHECK RADIO (@RCR_NZ) August 13, 2025

Nice cartoon…LOL, I had hoped people had finally learned their lesson and would migrate away from mainstream COVID cheerleader parties but no such luck.
Napkins is desperate to keep in with his masters. (Puppet masters). He knows he does not get the money or position promised to him as Ardern got.
Napkins is no longer political leadership material. He is a huge vote looser. But he still knows the prize money and next high paying superficial job awaits him. That’s the goal.
How can it be these super rich vaccine companies are paying out billions in compensation yet Napkins is still pushing the safety of such products. Both things can not be true.
This movie has taken far to long to establish the plot for me. Although I see that many in NZ are still comfortably numb, the consequences of shocking these folk with the truth is possibly worse than taking (for freaking ever) good time to build the truth narrative backed by undeniable facts. My popcorn is well finished though
Bloomfield is missing in this line up is he not?
100%. One of the main ringleaders of the whole scam. Then he brought in compulsory fluoridation the day before he left office just to rub more salt into the wound. He must face justice.
Maybe because he is going to be summoned.
LOL 😆. Did we expect integrity or something approaching accountability??
Arise sir Ashley ,refresh us all on your natural immunity waning science
I found out this morning a good acquaintance is dying form cancer. He was in total remission for 1 plus year until he was coerced into getting the mRNA gene therapy injection by Hipkin”s So sad and unnecessary putting it politely. .
Remission was for 10 plus years in above post.
This refusal to attend is simply a tacit admission of guilt.
The next step should be prosecution for criminal malfeasance.
Same story as above, people in remission, get the jabs and cancer comes back turbo style.
Don’t know what a women is, hunt you down chipkins is a vial human being, like the rest of them.
I want to know how many of the infamous 5 were included in the 11,000 people who were granted exemptions from the clot shot, I would put money on that prat baker not getting a jab either.
All guilty of crimes against humanity.
They are out to destroy our way of life so they can bring in their communist’ ideology which we all know does not work thats been proven.
You only consult lawyers when they have guilty, Marxist prick
Exactly, the involvement of Lawyers indicates there is much to hide. And funded by we the people as tax payers
Look at his evil little black eyes. Devils spawn……
Politics in NZ these days seems to attract the worst possible people.
It’s actually become quite frightening.
Obviously Hipkins has been advised by his lawyers to stay silent.
A sure sign of guilt obviously.
Those who are confident that they are backed by truth have fronted to the royal commission. Those who have been asked to attend publicly and have not showed up expose themselves as frauds
C+-tie little “thing”
