"Public testimony was a rare chance to reframe his legacy, acknowledge mistakes, and show he could own hard decisions.
"Instead, Labour leader Chris Hipkins took the safer short-term path, which may prove costlier in the long run.
"His absence now defines the story his opponents will retell until polling day.
"Hipkins will now have to convince voters he’s trustworthy without the benefit of having shown public transparency over his COVID record."~ The Centrist from their post 'Hipkins’ COVID inquiry snub: Why it’s a PR disaster waiting to happen'

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
