Mediawatch: Pandemic probe media focus flipped to politicians
The Covid-19 inquiry's initial hearings received limited media attention, focusing more on potential politician appearances than the actual testimonies. Public opinions varied, with some defending lockdowns while others criticized misinformation. Voices for Freedom, an anti-vaccine group, urged accountability from leaders. Despite media pressure, the inquiry maintains a non-adversarial approach, and Jacinda Ardern has agreed to provide evidence.
