NZ Initiative - A polished turd

Scrub it, polish it, rebrand it and what do you have? Yep, it’s still a turd. The business roundtable, a bunch of self-interested rich people who like to call themselves a think-tank. But, what do we have here, extreme right views … And they’re surprised?

And who are members of this self-interested right-wing waste of time? You guessed it, bloated corporates - check out the usual suspects here.

A few on the list make me wonder what they’re thinking…

• British American Tobacco (Really?)

• Imperial Brands (Ditto)

• Duffy - books in homes (Just don’t get it)

• Ngāi Tahu holdings (Would love to hear the rationale)

• Tainui Group (Ditto)

• Auckland university (I thought times were tough?)

• Waikato university (Ditto)
