Back in 2020 during our last election campaign, Covid-19 was the top focus for politicians as Jacinda Ardern and Judith Collins argued that their party was in the best position to get us through the pandemic.

Three years on and the coronavirus is no longer on the agenda, with the Labour Government removing all restrictions and precautions last month and firmly placing the response in the past. 

But as candidates out on the election campaign trail argue over how to best improve our healthcare system, have we learned anything from a pandemic that so radically changed our lives over three years?

On today's episode of The Front Page, senior lecturer and immunologist at the University of Auckland Dr Anna Brooks shares her concerns that those in power are no longer taking Covid-19 seriously.

Damien is also joined by senior lecturer in Human Resource Management at the University of Otago Paula O'Kane, who looks at the long-term impact of the pandemic on the world of work.
