HLG - Hallenstein Glasson

[bull....]

A dirt cheap public relations stunt by EQT after effectively strong-arming directors and shareholders out of their shares for hundreds of millions less than fair value. EQT are complete hypocrites...nothing they have done to date with MET and its shareholders is fair or reasonable. They have pillaged N.Z. assets far below fair value.
Rod Duke pillages Kiwi's pockets for cheap Chinese made goods sold far above fair value and has used the ruse of a real "sale" to disingenuously gain vast wealth out of Kiwi's for decades.
These are not nice people Bull.

You've already spread this nonsense B.S. on the HLG thread before.
I'll say it again nice and slow just so a simple bull can understand it.
HLG stores and their online platforms were completely closed during Covid. Do you understand what "Closed" means ?
The Government set up this wage subsidy scheme to cover some of the costs, (not all of them) of keeping those workers in employment.

Please take your left wing socialist agenda elsewhere. I for one have had a complete guts full of people like you with their sanctimonious garbage on this subject.
You boycott them if you like, I am sure they won't miss the business.

theres a big difference when companies then go and pay dividends using the wage subsidy. this has been written about many times.

take the subsidy yes alright , but you dont need it if you pay out dividends. do the right thing hlg pay it back to nz taxpayers. just dont pay the next dividend will cover it

The alternative to taking the subsidy would have been to lay off the workers. Why would you think that would be better for the economy of the country?

that was the right thing to do take the subsidy at the time for all businesses.

in hindsight we know the right thing to do now is pay it back as they didnt need it in hindsight

What a load of leftist garbage.

You better start with the multi nationals & essential companies first if you are really serious and when you are successful, I will join you and lobby for all companies which do not need the wage subsidy to return it.

Here’s one you can really get your teeth into to set the ball rolling : Fulton Hogan.

fulton hogan is a private company so only the govt could make them pay it back but if they were able to be boycotted i guess we could , hlg as a public company means shareholders can ask them to pay it back.

big difference shareholders can ask them to pay it back

Not true - it is a public company. And it was allowed to operate during the lockdowns.
