Focus needed

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: The Hound was not surprised to see that Pāmu – better known as state farmer Landcorp – has been told to tidy up its business model and better concentrate on actually farming.

It seems even the previous government – not widely known for its business acumen – was not impressed by the way Pāmu is operating.

This led to former State Owned Enterprises Minister Duncan Webb writing to the government-owned farmer’s board instructing it to “concentrate its core business and commercial disciplines”.

This is something your old mate has been calling on for years.

Perhaps the new government will now take a look at Pamū’s board appointments and actually pick people with more farming knowledge and skills – rather than allocating such roles based on woke ideals such as gender and racial diversity that seemed to be the previous administration’s MO!

Purist problem

OPINION: The sudden departure of Jim Ward, manager of Molesworth Station for 24 years, highlighted some major dysfunction in the way conservation estate is managed in this country - the biggest problem, as the Hound sees it, being idealogues who harp on about "taonga" and use all means possible to block sensible commercial operations on conservation land.
