    And what has jailing corrupt decision makers done in the States? Make the lawyers rich and make the frauds ever more sophisticated.

    Madoff = US$65b fraud.

    Not sure of the correlation between the two observations. However, it sets an example to begin with. The deterrent factor has never been quantified, but it stands to reason that prevention will be better ( in this case, cheaper) than cure. The stick is a great inspiration...

    Or perhaps we could follow Chinas lead. They've executed two people involved in the Sanlu Tainted Milk scandal. 300,000 children fell ill and at least 6 died.

    "Geng Jinping was convicted of producing and selling toxic food, after selling more than 900 tonnes of tainted milk.

    Cattle farmer, Zhang Yujun was executed "for the crime of endangering public safety by dangerous means" -- he produced more than 770 tonnes of melamine-laced protein powder, of which he sold more than 600 tonnes, between July 2007 and August 2008.



    The woman most widely blamed for the tragedy Sanlu's former general manager, Tian Wenhua, received a sentence of life in jail."

    What a great idea.

    And NZ should also require their partners (wives mostly) and children to become slaves and servants as well.

    And why stop there? There are brothels which the females should be sent to and Pike River Coal where the males can be sent to to work.

    Some where there is, or was, a web page that listed all company's
    and their directors. By using XL spreedsheet you could find what
    directors doubled up etc..
    Maybe a good webpage man wanting a bit of exposure could
    ressurect this angle and include CEO's
    Just a thought !!!
    BB
    Interest.co.nz maybe ???

    I am unsure about capital punishment. Naming and shaming is what I seek, so that trust can be protected. I am not for punishment, for punishment's sake. It should serve as a reminder, a deterrant, it should set an example. How far is too far, I don't know. But we must make a start to clean up and expose the filth.

    It is the sanctimonius that we must beware of most. Beneath is boiling dirt...

    Disclosing failures should be part of good practise, even encouraged, especially for people in positions of trust and power and decision making. Failures are our stepping stones to success, they build our true experience and skill sets. Disclose them when you seek somebody to trust you with their money, life, wealth etc and respect that the other person has a right to informed choice. Some may say this is idealistic, but it is also pragmatic for those who choose to be marathon runners rather than sprinters in career...

    Waiting until a capital punishment is handed out takes a long time at the best of times....trying to point to the right person in companies takes forever as most people suffer memory issues when blame is being handed out.

    A register of who is involved in what might be a first point.

    After all did anyone remember that this was not the first time Witi Ihimaera had been caught for plagiarism?

    Would there be a queue for Nicky Watson?
