He rambles on at the end about recommendations for "next time". There won't be a "next time".

But someone should have asked him why him and Ardern dumped NZ's existing Pandemic Preparedness Plan which had been updated in 2017. Why did they ignore that document completely?

Morally bankrupt! Most politicians fall into that same category with the opposition left around 90% that level

Lying, cheating and cowardly barely scratch the surface. The video was a picture of a man frantically back-pedalling through mud.

Hipkins is unscrupulous and bitter.

Best for everyone if he stays where he is so he can be seen and heard displaying these characteristics. alowing voters to not choose him and his acolytes.

We will have justice - may Hipkins Adern Bloomfield and Robinson rot in hell and never feel safe in NZ again.

Not owning your decisions is the most despicable form of leadership.

I despise them all - it will only get worse… people are still sick and dying - many like ourselves cannot bring back our dead or resurrect our old businesses and jobs…but we are stronger and wiser…

We survived…to wish them ill - I would hate to be in their shoes…

Truly

What despicable ambassadors for humanity they are…

But we see you…

Yip

We see you little turds

Unfortunately typical of most politicians these days - avoiding answering questions and re-pointing the blame to others - this guy is an expert at it. Takes no accountability for anything, disregards the damage he caused to so many NZ'ers, can't admit that anything he did was wrong, and wants to blame everyone else for any of the consequences of his decisions. Only person I despise more than him is Ardern. They need to be made to front up and face the consequences of their actions.

A creep through and through. A total loser at leadership. You only need to see who is mother is and it all makes sense.

We absolutely need to stop using the term "conspiracy theorist" as a put down. There are regularly events which involve individuals, officials and corporates putting their political-business interests over public transparency and wellbeing. This happens far too often and people pointing out such patterns are providing checks and balances. Time after time the "conspiracy theorists" have been proven correct while people who throw such immature labels about escape accountability for their mistakes.

I wonder, why does he look so frightened? There is something unexplained there.

'Hipkins is a manipulative, lying, self-serving fraud....'

I think you're too kind to Hipkins; he's contemptible. But then he's a politician, that is part of the job description.

I actually thought at the time he did quite a good job picking up the mess from the precious idiot…but ultimately he’s a lying piece of shit. 💩
