But it also created public sector boards (or “joint ventures”) where chief executives from various agencies meet and discuss issues and provide advice to a single Government minister.

If it sounds a bit wishy-washy that’s because it clearly is. Its stated goal was to tackle major underlying problems facing the country. How’s that working out for us?

I get that this is a right wing columnist and he’s paid to be anti, but come on. Companies always decry silos and that’s exactly what this was set up to overcome when dealing with “wicked” problems, of which NZ has many.

Nobody seems to understand what the real goal of the right wing in this country is.

The entire purpose of this and similar ventures is to destroy unions. It's to fire unionised workers and replace them with non unionised workers.

Destroy unions, depress wages, increase profits, weaken the Labour party, line their own pockets, buy another ferrari for your house in Hawaii, get high paying do nothing job at a chinese bank.
