Friday Faceoff: Grant Walker and David Farrar talk Covid-19 inquiry, Labour Party conference and Nikki Kaye's legacy

The first phase of the inquiry into the government's response to Covid-19 is out - and it's critical of vaccine mandates, saying they caused social harm to a significant minority of New Zealanders. Were vaccine mandates the biggest mistake of the Covid-19 response?  Also, the Labour Party is holding its annual conference this weekend. How have they performed in opposition, and how do they become more relevant?  To talk through those issues, as well as reflect on the tragic death of former National MP Nikki Kaye, broadcaster Grant Walker and Curia pollster David Farrar joined Nick for Friday Faceoff.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
