Seeing that Fergus was apparently a micro-manager apt to stifle his staff (thankfully I only saw it from afar), hopefully this guy can be a bit more encouraging.
Seems like every bloody Kiwi is moving to Australia, so much for National trying to prevent the flow of Kiwi’s to Aussie they’re obviously failing miserably.
I dout the ability of any government stopping bloody Kiwis moving to Aus
Paul, of course. But National made such a big deal about it in 2008 that they’ve turned it into a vote of confidence in the government of the day. The phrase is “Hoist by their own petard.”
Greg is a top bloke and will bring huge knowledge and ideas from Air NZ in operating a large scale passenger oriented transport business.
