elbourne-based professor Tony Blakely, who championed harsh Covid measures in Australia, appointed by Jacinda Ardern to oversee inquiry into the effectiveness of New Zealand’s pandemic response.

A royal commission into New Zealand’s COVID-19 response will be chaired by Professor Tony Blakely, one of Australia’s most prominent Covid alarmists.

The Melbourne University epidemiologist was arguing as recently as April that contacts of a positive Covid case should quarantine for seven days, regardless of whether they contracted the virus.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced Blakey’s appointment this week.
