So I had a look at what was publicised date wise about the inquiry report. The inquiry was launched in Jan 2024 with various deadlines for women to submit their experiences etc and it was initially publicised the report would be released in April so it’s a bit delayed.
Louise’s book launch date changed in January when she was in hospital.
Tbh I think the dates being close together are a coincidence as I’m not sure back then even the inquiry new when the report would be ready to be released, BUT I think she has absolutely jumped on the bandwagon now because of the book. There has been so much publicised over the last few months, news articles, calls for submissions, etc yet she’s not once got involved until a week before her launch. All the stories she asking for people to write in the comments tonight would have been much better if submitted to the actual inquiry two months ago.

she either didn’t know about the inquiry or she did and wasn’t interested. But either way, the dates may be a coincidence but Louise getting involved* now is not a coincidence.
*I say involved loosely as what has she actually done so far.
I guess only time will tell but I certainly won’t hold my breath!
