I see Orr (OK the RBNZ is) is recruiting for a CULTURAL CAPABILITY ADVISOR MAORI to help implement his "Te Ao Maori strategy..designed to build a bankwide understanding of the Maori economy"
goodness gracious
Inclusiveness in racism out.
Isn't it racist to assume someone thinks a certain way because of their race. Doesn't it become condescending (and racist) to have a token whoever, assuming they think the same as the other whoevers?
Eg. Let's have a token brown one on the board, you know. To represent the brown ones. Hang on, what about that other shade of brown ones? Bummer, we forgot to include one of the rainbow brown ones. Maybe we need a brown one with disabilities. Have we covered it yet?
Damn, got to repeat it for those Asian ones, cos we all know they think the same, right?
How many spaces on the board again? Oh hell, we haven't even started on the gender diversity yet...you know all those non-binary ones x the shades of colour. Let's see LBGTQI+ XYZ LMNOP x how many racial groups? Good thing we have a big board table and are so self righteously smug that we know people of certain colours/types all think the same.
Reserve Bank getting involved in non central bank issues
And this stinks of disaster capitalism

For 20k+ posts, you're not usually so deeply concerned, but in this circumstance Orr is really pulling your strings. Would you mind explaining what it is that worries you so much? Do you just not like the guy, or is there something more sinister that you're concerned about?
By his own admission, apparently:
"Calm and unruffled by his critics, Orr, who took the helm in March last year, has said he doesn't want to be seen as predictable nor for markets to simply rote-read his statements."
Perhaps it's the "unpredictable" aspect. RBNZ governors don't usually go out of their way to cultivate that trait.
unpredictable has its benefits in that he wont be obvious and will keep the markets on their toes. predictable rate cuts are food for large players to gobble up.
I concur with Peat here.Good for RBNZ dividends too !
