  1. I do not know the entire back story but it would seem that the Government has awarded a $30million contract to an American company called Concentrix to run a call centre rather than use a local disability group. If we are going to keep unemployment t down the Government need to use local groups which is the message they pump out in their adverts .
    When you research this company you see they were called a Terror Group because of the way they handled a job in the UK and finished up costing the UK government £43 million to fix the problems it had created .

    1. The trouble with disassociated gummint is that they take their hands from the wheel and the replacement CEOs step up drunk with power, run the vehicle into a hole, so do the very thing they were employed to avoid and the government gets blamed as always. It would be cheaper for the gummint to make its own mistakes without the extra bookkeeping.

  2. The mighty Orr, and there is no ‘or’ about it. He’s pushing against the rock and the hard place and please God don’t give him Sisyphus’ mantle.

    1. We should all be down on our knees thanking Adrian Orr and before him, Graham Wheeler for keeping interest rates down over the past 5-10 years. if a monetary hawk like Don Brash was in charge, there would be a lot more hardship around.

  3. The Reserve Bank’s proposed requirement (under Adrian Orr’s governorship) that the ‘Big 4′ Australian banks’ NZ subsidiaries strengthen their balance sheets so they could survive a ‘once in a century’ financial crisis (which they all whinged and moaned about; and lobbied furiously against), now seems incredibly prescient.

    1. Well it would be prescient, and a +100%.
      But that was planned over several years, and the bank lobbyists got it delayed ever further.
      The banks are gone and we should be talking about re-nationalising them and building from the ground up.
      Unless people understand the banks need to fail before we can rebuild a new fairer economy, with property prices that reflect profitability of current SMEs and not some global money laundering scheme we are locked into more than 10 years of depression and dog eat dog, we are well and truly fucked.
      The decisions you make today are going to affect you and your spawn for the next 50 years if not longer.
      Don’t make them lightly.

  4. …’ We’ve seen what the Death Cult Capitalists have done to America and the UK, we have almost eradicated the plague in NZ and need to position ourselves to be able to trade on our 100% Pure brand in a very unique way’…

    Exactly. We should be capitalizing on it .

    🙂

    Lets do this !

  5. Hold your course Jacinda;

    *As this virus has again shown it has a long tail and hard to stop.
    *As South Korea has found this week with yet another “spike>
    *As South Korean children go back to school they have another spike to handle again.

    Korean officials have said it is now considering ‘stronger reduction of contact rules again’ since the new Covid 19 virus spike re-appears. 79 cases was reported in the 24hrs and is the highest level for the last two months.

    So let’s be cautious and lets finish the job.

  6. Many of us would like to find out Frank. It seems that over $5 billion a year being left in the national coffers instead of being snatched by Australian ticket clippers would’t go astray

      That 5+ billion is what they cannot hide after all their tax haven experts have earned their keep.
      Have a guess as to how many billions have been raised in mortgages across NZ just in the farming sector.
      Housing – what a bonanza key sparked off for the banks.
