Thought I would add my two bobs worth with a couple of relevant links that cut through the massive amount of misinformation- my grandaughter was appointed to the advisory board 6 years ago - she is an employment lawyer who has worked very closely with James Shaw
The facts speak for themselves that the legislation became completely unworkable after the previous givt decided to give the lawyers and union delegates access to millions of dollars of expenses able to be claimed - consequently only 10 claims were settled in six years - 6 of these supposedly settled already have remedial claims lodged against them
This link is so very clear what was happening - that’s the nurses union
https://www.nzno.org.nz/about_us/media_r...rt-workers
This link shows that despite the claims the govt sprung the legislative changes on both sides of the fence - simply isn’t true
https://www.education.govt.nz/education-...ion-sector
Another link showing at least one labour politician is acknowledging the truth about the funding - Robertson advised the board in Sept 2023 that the funding would not be extended past June 2025 - so no matter which govt had won the election the process that had got very badly out of control was going to end
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/l...7VQVQOPSA/
It sickens me that women are being used as a political football - there was cross party support for the legislation and if the changes had not been made in 2022 who knows how much success the board would have had .It’s interesting on the same day Robertson advised Kiwirail there would be no funds for the completion of that project he also emailed the advisory board their work was also coming to an end .
Let’s hope some good will come from Marylyn Waring - she was always a very straight shooter
