The firm was embedded in Commerce Commission offices working on supermarket and energy industry inquiries, which had major implications for its corporate clients.
Was about to post this. This is mind boggling. Also, this whole thing we have now where all you have to do is state conflicts of interest and it’s enough. No repercussion, no ensuring unfairness isn’t occurring because of the conflict. Nope, we declared it so thats fine. Wtf! Commerce commission needs to be cleared out, senate needs to be chucked out of it, and gov agencies who’s job is meant to be oversight of industry need to be squeeky clean , independent, totally self contained (outsourcing work to a consultancy who also work for the orgs your reporting on ? Wtf) and have real sharp teeth. Same goes for other regulatory outfits. Corporations should be quaking in their boots if the commerce commission come knocking. No wonder we are all being ripped off as consumers, and citizens. But look who’s coming into power….the kings of commercial conflicts and slick PR comms to offset any critical reportage. Prepare for the distractions and catchphrases.
