    Deborah Russell would contend they weren’t strong enough pre-lockdown and should have been better capitalised in the first place.

    And that they're only in business because she deems the minimum wage in NZ to be too low.

    Many may be left wondering exactly what sort of Dr's Degree Russell actually has .. after seeing her recent efforts hung out to dry ..

    Something doesn't add up in the stuff article though - If the gap between monthly labour costs and the subsidy received is $192m, and there's 12,000 staff in total, that means the monthly gap per person averages $16,000

    The thing i've learnt about a lot of qualifications is they don't actually require the rigor or intelligence you think they would, nor do they translate to common sense at all most of the time.

    I'm not so sure about the brains. The degree (pun intended) of seriousness of a doctorate in philosophy would largely depend on the university issuing it. The Humanities are all over the shop at the moment. Swamped in Gender Theory and the like ....hence her sexist views on jobs for the girls.
