Phase 2 of COVID commission announced, new commissioners appointed

“New Zealand First has successfully campaigned for an independent inquiry into the country’s COVID-19 response, with phase 2 of the Royal Commission of Inquiry now announced.”

On X the party says it has broadened the terms of reference to include a detailed examination of vaccine mandates, safety, efficacy, approvals, and adverse effects, alongside the economic impact of the “pandemic”.

The party says it has worked closely with various groups, accepting letters and petitions from everyday New Zealanders, and debated the need for a comprehensive inquiry in Parliament.

The inclusion of these expanded terms in the coalition agreement was a key victory for New Zealand First. As the party stated, “You asked, we listened, and we are delivering.”

  1. So the new commissioners are two lawyers and an economist? Do any of them have any medical/basic biology expertise? Just did a quick Google search on each of them, and based on what I’ve seen it seems like the answer is “no”.

    How “independent” are they going to be anyway given their various past “public service” roles listed?

    I have no faith nor interest in this commission. They’re just going to white wash and tacitly excuse everything Jacinda did. Who cares, it’s over – they are NEVER going to arrest themselves.

    FAR FAR FAR more important that we look forward now. All our time, attention and energy should be focused instead on those new “public health measures” (aka forced vaccination) and the cancelling of GMO laws that protect our food supply.

    Last time we had the option of legally protected choice, with all their new legislation and regulations they have slowly dismantled each of the mechanisms by which we resisted. Please everyone focus on addressing this instead of living in the past.

    • One needs to persecute a crime to prevent it from repeating. If there are no consequences that which you fear will most certainly happen.

      • Normally I would agree with the sentiment, but when you’re expecting the criminal who hurt you and stole from you to arrest themselves, prosecute themselves and put themselves in prison, you’re going to have a LONG wait.

        The simple truth is that there AREN’T going to be any meaningful consequences for Covid (Don’t shoot the messenger, I hate it as much as you do). It is what it is.

        I’m more concerned with the future, we need to put the brakes on these people BEFORE the next one comes instead of wasting our time and energy on commissions and tribunals run by corrupt government bureaucrats. After everything that’s happened how could you legitimately have any faith in it?

  2. “Please everyone focus on addressing this instead of living in the past”
    These issues will NOT be addressed BECAUSE “with all their new legislation and regulations they have slowly dismantled each of the mechanisms by which we resisted”.
    New regulations and amendments have perverted justice and are now firmly in the hand of a mafia that calls itself ‘public servants’.
    THEY are public enemies.

  3. Yes Winston was the only politician that walked with the people at the Wellington protest and Judas was one of Christs most trusted decipal and look what happened there, very much the same is happening here .What a sham.

  4. why even have a commission of enquiry when we have a former employee of HealthNZ, Mr Barry Young, with all the relevant data in relation to the safety & efficacy and adverse effects from the mRNA experimental jab.

  5. Eating famine food, injecting gene therapys, and drinking water laced with neurotoxins will cause an early death. And you’re probably right, doesn’t seem like a robust look into the ‘vaccination’ here in NZ. What many places around the world agree upon is dismissed flagrantly here. Christopher Luxon is determined not to flynch or alter his course. There is only one way for him. He is much like the totalitarians Trudeau, Macron, & Starmer. Just how you navigate that I don’t know.
    But the Parliament protest was an extremely good effort which caused fear amongst the pollis, so much so they ended up causing chaos and violence to end it. The media focused on the squalor aspect of the protestors and made people believe in their lies. The media is now a lot less of an influence. They are weak. They need to be thoroughly undermined. Those others need to feel even more insecure.

  6. The ridiculously short time frame (and over Christmas!!) exposes the fact that there is NO serious intention with this Commission.

    • What a joke. You Winston, and your mate Shane Reti know what is happening. You have both known for some time.

      Must be about time for more protests against the a holes trying desperatley to keep the wool pulled over the eyes of all those they hurt.

  7. There are a few positives in this announcement where I feel somewhat heartened that we are headed in the right direction;
    1.The change of Commissioners. This is ‘positive‘. Anthony Hill has extensive experience through his Commissioner role with the Health and Disability Commission. I am sure his expertise will be invaluable in this Inquiry
    2: The inclusion of the ‘monitoring and reporting of adverse reactions’. This is critical. Does the reporting from CARM include ALL adverse reactions or were the tick boxes set at a minimum. Did the reports reflect the Pfizer published reporting or do we have a scenario of under-reporting in New Zealand?
    I am sure the 64000 reports does not adequately reflect the currently overloaded NZ Health system…we shall see.
    Finally…’thank you ‘ Winston!

  8. Why anyone thought that Winston Peters was their guy and a man of his word I don’t know. Those that actively backed him and swung people to support him did a lot of damage. This investigation isn’t going to go far.

  9. I found this article about narcolepsy / cataplexy being caused by the swine flu vaccination :https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-4439444/Woman-dumped-rare-sleep-condition-finds-love-again.html
    If the swine flu vaccination has caused something like this which could account for road and air traffic accidents (amongst other things) then logically, the ‘covid’ vaccination is causing the incredible increase in homicides, femicides, child abuse ie paedohilia and other associated nasties.
    In other words we are losing our humanity and further messing with the natural world is insane.
    XL bullies are known for killing their masters; why?
