ADRIAN ORR our NEW RBNZ GOVERNOR

[jonu]

Thanks for highlighting the last line, it shows the writer has got some unhealthy agenda against the governor and his idea of yet more authorities and regulatory bodies is just supporting his network of talking heads all , justifying their jobs with spin and hubris and butt covering.

Transparent indeed, adapting ,no.

Unhealthy agenda? I thought it was a well structured opinion piece from a very knowledgeable writer. Orr needs to deflate his ego before someone else does it for him. We don't need rockstar RB governors and economists. We need sound policy and a functioning regulatory regime. Going and sitting with Te Roroa to get permission to talk of Tane Mahuta is PC BS. We've already got a flaky feel good PM, we don't need it spreading further.

Think your post was a fair rebuttal until the last line as well. thanks for your transparency anyway.

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

It always seems to be a difficult decision to make for a Guvnor, I mean committee, i.e to make a change to the rate rather than just leave it alone.
Wheeler was superbly boring. But Orr probably wants to make his mark and 'show off' just a little, by pre-empting, or 'picking perfectly' (depending on how it all goes) the time to cut. Time will only tell, but Orr has done something! I have actually read the speech yet though I'm very curious about how it will be woven into the world of Tane Mahuta

I reckon it should be called an Orr Put!
