So, the inference is: Jacinda Ardern should be ordered to return to NZ and face the country over her handling of the Covid pandemic. He also obliquely infers punishment for the “mess” she made of it in this clip below, and there is reflection on whether she would bring a lawyer with her… as if she has 'things to hide'.
Words fail me. At least words that would be acceptable on this platform.
Edit: I would add this much:
What the hell is he talking about when he rabbits on about “getting to the bottom of it etc.” when there has already been a Commission of Inquiry on that very subject.
Jesus Christ………………..
Jacinda had the arrogant prick sussed….
The second part of this enquiry in particular was designed to do as much harm the Adern and Labour as possible. Nothing to do with science, totally political.
See David Slack "More than A Fielding" – side feed:
Order of Ceremony for the Jacinda Ardern Show Trial and Ritual Humiliation Ms HDPB-Allen will rise to say: I want to hear you apologise for showing empathy during a crisis…..
Show Trial describes this circus perfectly:

And the list of countries when Show Trials are and have been popular:
China
Soviet Union
Russia
Yugoslavia
Hungary
Czechoslovakia
Nazi Germany
Ties in with the idea socially conservative democracy (NZF) and populist libertarianism (ACT) are in fact authoritative and dictatorial.
Not hard to imagine Seymour with a toothbrush moustache…….he may have to mature somewhat to grow a decent one though……….
Pleasingly, it's not up to our arrogant prick of an Acting PM – what an impotent twerker.
He is a perfect example of the Dunning-Kruger psychological bias:

Braunias is a genius …I am in tears and guffawing out loud in the restaurant I'm frequenting.
Paddy Gower writes positively of the Taylor column.

Taylor's reasoning for voting the coalition was dire and he has admitted error already.
This column was worse.
I'll link to my own response.

Paddy is disappointed with Ardern who headed a government which saved 20,000 NZ lives compared with the UK's COVID response.
She is a hero. I actually agree that she should front the enquiry but only on condition that she can answer questions in relation to her whole period in government including the time in coalition with NZF.
I still think the vast majority support her government's COVID response.
The self-entitled business community (Taylor), the anti-mandate crew and the tin foil hat nutters make up only a small (but noisy) part of NZ society.
Winston Peters has had his New Zealand First Party excluded from his inquiry.

Then Jacinda shouldn't attend-that is ridiculous.
The Covid era is in no way defined by election dates.
He is such a turd. Makes you want to scrape your shoe.
Na it's so coated in slime just stomp down hard on it and it'll slide right off
They can invite her submission on a range of matters.
She could choose to consult others, such as Hipkins, before making any reply.
Jacinda Ardern participated in the Royal Commission of Inquiry, which, as I understand it, covered everything.
Winston Peters' inquiry, which, imo, is a witch hunt.
1. Can't ask the same questions that were in the first RC inquiry.
2. Inquiry to look at the predecessors' decisions that exclude decisions made by New Zealand First when it was part of the government.
3. It gives conspiracy theorists maximum airtime.

I used to wonder at life.
One day, you couldn't enter a bank with a mask on, the next day you couldn't enter a bank without one!
Not only you Louis. There is also the dreadful known characterising of Jacinda as witch….
With this, I am put in mind of the Witchfinder General and the evil he wrought on innocent people…
Wily ol' Winston..(and his two assistants )
How low can he go to keep power ? IMO he hasn't touched near it yet….
