Join legal expert Katie Ashby-Koppens and Alia Bland, co-founder of Voices for Freedom (VFF) and Reality Check Radio (RCR), as they dive deep into the recently released Phase One COVID Inquiry report. In this eye-opening discussion, Katie and Alia analyse what the report reveals, where it succeeds, and where it falls short.

They explore the assumptions underpinning the findings, unpack the implications of Commissioner Blakely's glowing remarks about his “illuminating” meetings with VFF, and assess the broader cultural shift reflected in corporate media coverage. What does this mean for the Overton Window of acceptable discourse in New Zealand? How are previously taboo topics now emerging into mainstream conversations?

This thought-provoking interview is a must-watch for anyone interested in transparency, accountability, and the evolving narrative around New Zealand's Covid-19 response.
