PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate Release
We are compelled to address the ongoing political charade perpetrated by the usual suspects in our nation’s leadership. These individuals, who bear direct responsibility for the myriad problems plaguing our country – from economic devastation to eroded public trust – must be unequivocally barred from ever seeking or holding political office again. Their repeated failures and self-serving maneuvers have inflicted irreparable harm on New Zealanders, and it is time we declare: enough is enough.
The recently released Phase Two Report of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into COVID-19 Lessons Learned, published on March 10, 2026, serves as yet another example of this entrenched political theater. While it acknowledges some shortcomings in the government’s response – such as overly prolonged restrictions, ignored advice on vaccine risks for young people, and a slow exit from the elimination strategy – it is hamstrung by its narrow terms of reference. This limited scope has conveniently handed the establishment their preferred talking points, allowing them to perpetuate propaganda that distracts from the core issues. The public is once again being led astray, focusing on superficial “lessons learned” rather than confronting the profound failures and actual criminality at play.
Let us be clear: what transpired during the COVID-19 response was not mere incompetence – it was criminal. The mandates, lockdowns, and vaccine rollout decisions resulted in widespread harm, including deaths, maimings, and ongoing long-term health issues for countless New Zealanders. These actions demand not another toothless inquiry, but a full-blown, far-reaching criminal investigation. This must include the immediate seizure of computers, mobile phones, and all electronic devices; a thorough examination of financial records; and the scrutiny of all communications among those involved. Only through such rigorous measures can we uncover the truth, leading to mass arrests, severe sentences, and the forfeiture of assets amassed through these criminal activities as proceeds of crime.
In a particularly hypocritical turn, Winston Peters of New Zealand First is now positioning himself as a champion of the aggrieved, feigning outrage over the report’s findings and demanding a select committee investigation into vaccine injuries. This is nothing short of astonishing, given that Phase Two of the COVID-19 Inquiry was expanded under the current coalition government, in which Peters served as Deputy Prime Minister, and yet it deliberately avoided the most critical questions. Where is the accountability for the murders, maimings, and enduring suffering caused by these policies? Silence.
Peters’ sudden indignation rings hollow, as it ignores the very harms his government’s inquiry failed to address. Those who continue to support such charlatans are profoundly misguided, enabling a cycle of deception that undermines our democracy.
The New Zealand Loyal Party stands firm in its commitment to truth, justice, and the protection of New Zealanders. We call on all Kiwis to reject this political theater and demand real accountability. The time for half-measures is over; only a comprehensive criminal probe will deliver the justice New Zealand deserves.
