Business NZ CEO: Covid response inquiry unlikely to have the right scope

A business leader doubts the Royal Commission of Inquiry into our Covid response has the right scope.

It kicks off February and will look at vaccine mandates, border closures, quarantine and community care.

A report is due mid-2024.

Australian-based epidemiologist Tony Blakely will chair it, alongside former National party minister Hekia Parata and former Treasury secretary John Whitehead.

Business NZ Chief Executive Kirk Hope told Mike Hosking no one from business was talked to about the scope.

He says the exclusion of operations into the private sector from the scope of inquiry is disappointing.
