Chris Hipkins: Labour Leader on the Covid-19 Inquiry, FamilyBoost, crime

from Canterbury Mornings with John MacDonald · host Newstalk ZB

Chris Hipkins is doubling down on saying the Covid Response Inquiry's terms seems to provide a platform for conspiracy views.  The Labour leader also said the second phase —that began this week— excludes looking at any decisions made when NZ First was in Government.  Hipkins told John MacDonald opinions from the likes of Brian Tamaki and Liz Gunn deserve to be heard but shouldn't overshadow submission on other experiences.  He says if the Government's genuine in wanting all voices heard, it's important for it not to be dominated by a few people.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
