Lobbying and communications firm Senate's 'wildly inappropriate' contracts at Commerce Commission revealed
Quote:
A public relations and lobbying firm was embedded in the offices of the Commerce Commission, working on highly sensitive areas of competition policy at the heart of the cost-of-living crisis.
Staff from the Wellington consultancy SenateSHJ worked in the physical offices of the competition watchdog and were given Commerce Commission email addresses and devices.

Guyon Espiner seems to be saying this is not on. I don't really know much about it. I kind of figure pretty much all business rule making is captured by business interests. It's the dominant way inequality is enabled. When Labour got slapped down for its attempt at taxing KiwiSaver financial advisors of the billion or so they make each year, I figure it was via these kinds of configurations.
