It has been over two years since our first lockdown. Our nations constitutional response to the COVID crisis has prompted many questions: What has happened in the courts? How has the fabric of our society changed? How might we be better prepared for the next crisis? Maxim Institute is releasing a paper in June reviewing our constitutional response and offering some hopeful answers to these and other questions. Research fellow Alex Penk has analysed of all the major court cases, delved into parliamentary reports, and taken stock of officials' advise to prepare one of the most comprehensive COVID response reviews to date. Alex will be joined in discussion by Maxim Institute Senior Researcher Marcus Roberts at Pocket Bar in Grey Lynn, Wednesday 22 June.There will be plenty of time for your questions, so come at 6:30pm to order a drink and food, and our conversation will start at 7pm.OUR PANELISTS
