From the Desk of a Male Pale and Stale

I recently wrote an article addressing two significant concerns: 1. The bloating of the Te Whetu Ora HR Department, during its establishment (since then additional roles have been advertised!) 2.

Labour Left Lots of Landmines

Labour has left loads of economic landmines for the incoming Government to step on. Fortunately, they are being discovered but each one presents its own unique set of circumstances to defuse.
