The Crown has spent more than $70,000 on legal representation for former Labour ministers Jacinda Ardern, Chris Hipkins, Grant Robertson and Ayesha Verrall during the second phase of the Covid-19 Royal Commission of Inquiry, which is focusing on vaccines, mandates, lockdowns, and public health measures.
Crown Law confirmed to legacy media (paywalled) the costs were approved under the Cabinet Manual’s indemnity provisions, which cover expenses linked to ministerial duties.
The ministers, represented by Dentons, declined to appear publicly at hearings citing concerns over precedent, abuse, and misrepresentation, though each had already provided interviews and evidence.
Public backlash followed, with a Curia poll showing 53% opposed their refusal to front.
Overall legal costs for the inquiry have already surpassed $350,000.
70 large for what? An excuse.
Just another private business milking the government/taxpayer
The corrupt government will then allege that this costly circus is what we supposedly voted for.
So over the corruption in this country. Both sides just don’t care. Anyone see Kirsten Murfitt’s frustrated clip about the corruption??
She dodged a bullet not making the NZ1 cut into the corporate Zionist crime syndicate masquerading as a democratic government.
Ardern was warned of the risks associated with implementing an unproven vaccine
But decided to go against such advice by health professionals
And go down the road under the guise of safe proven effective
Which we all know now was a complete fabrication and lie
The damage this monster and her cronies have done to this country is inestimable
As the after effects and fall out of such actions linger on as a consequence and the full extent of the trail of devastation and destruction ongoing being made known and fully apparent
Just following orders does not cut the mustard
Just like it didn’t at Nuremberg
Then the Nazi’s
Now the WEF
Hipkins still showing no remorse
Props himself up like a grinning Cheshire cat
When is he writing a book?
To rewrite history in a more favorable and forgiving light
All while NZDSOS who spoke out are facing $100k lawyer costs.
We have a corrupt system it seems to the core
100%
Legalese and not lawful representation. Two completely different jurisdictions.
Personal attacks doesn’t work on political leaders or MP the all the same, it doesn’t matter which side they on, We need Anarchy that’s the only way to freedom. Many have to rule the few not the few ruling the many
Ran out of fuel in its tank.Bank account very full now.Gay Ford refers to New Zealanders as weeds. NOthing but arrogant whores the both of them.
