Entrepreneur Derek Handley says he has still not been given an explanation from the Government on why it withdrew its offer to appoint him as the country's first chief technology officer.
"Neither have I heard personally from Minister Hipkins, Minister Woods or the Prime Minister during this challenging time, which has been disappointing from a Government that highlights compassion and kindness as hallmarks of their leadership," he said in a statement on Tuesday.
Perhaps one should look in the mirror.....starting with your leadership and an explanation as to why Snakk has been such a dismal failure. And perhaps instead of asking Govt to show some honesty and transparency to start with your own!

Poor Derek.
Poor poor Handley.
Guess he was celebrating his ability to land yet another easy one - $400k a year plus expenses plus promise of support staff. Think of the fun he could have had!
Whatever happened to Team 'B' etc etc.
An entrepreneur taking up a full time paid job? Unheard of!
Very poor form and judgement on Handleys part. At this level he didn't get the job, you accept the outcome (which included a settlement - and surprised it didn't include a confidentiality clause. Yet another stuff up on Governments part) and keep your peace. You don't keep litigating it in the media.
Perhaps now he has the time to focus on Sky TV and drag them out of the doldrums and into this century and beyond.

Good one. And maybe secretly payback time, Hipkins, Woods and Jusina Oneterm might of had shares with snakk back in 2013.
I do wonder if one of his emails that contained his list of "requirements" was maybe one of the freak out moments Labour may have had over this position.
They thought they were paying someone $400k.
The request list turned this silo into a multi million $$ venture that had no real outcomes.
