Dr. Kerry Chant Glasses
Former health minister Jillian Skinner admits that she used to refer to Chant as her “secret weapon,” who could be summoned in estimates to bring a blizzard of facts to bear on the proceedings.
During one of the previous lockdown press conferences, Chant attempted to prop a pair of damaged and filthy reading glasses on her face. She warned the media pack not to be distracted by her broken spectacles as she rattled off a long number of new infection sites.
Chant was in his element: engrossed on the facts, oblivious to the aesthetics. Broken glasses would have been a disaster for a politician, a potentially horrifying visual metaphor to be avoided at all costs. Chant, on the other hand, didn’t appear to mind.
