The Government's confirmed its terms of reference for the second phase of the Covid-19 inquiry. 

Phase Two will cover matters of public interest like the use of vaccines and lockdowns. 

It will assess whether a reasonable balance was struck between health goals and social disruption and the economic impact of decisions. 

It's appointed Grant Illingworth KC chair, and Judy Kavanagh and Anthony Hill commissioners.

Internal Affairs Minister Brooke van Velden told Mike Hosking the three have experience across litigation, economics, and health. 

She says these broad skills are needed to look into the lessons we can learn for any future pandemic.
