Risky business
OPINION: In the same way that even a stopped clock is right twice a day, economists sometimes get it right.
However, the prize for the most ridiculous call during the recent cream recall issue has to go to former Hamilton mayor and twice-failed Fonterra director candidate Russ Rimmington, who called for Wilson’s head. Really? Your old mate reckons Fonterra shareholders dodged a bullet by not electing Rimmington to the board. If he was so over-the-top and reactionary over a minor issue like the recall of a few bottles of cream happens; imagine what he would’ve been like in a real crisis?
