OPINION: Speaking of BLNZ profligacy, the Hound reckons the not-so-badly paid board should be paying more attention to what its staff are actually spending farmer levy fees on.
Apparently, for the past four years, BLNZ has been using hardpressed levy payer funds to prop up a privately-owned magazine publisher.
For some reason, staff at BLNZ have decided that the country’s meat producers should be subsidising a basically glorified ‘Women’s Day’ glossy magazine called Shepherdess.
One would have to seriously question the value to the county’s struggling meat producers subsidising such a niche publication with limited readership and distribution.
This looks very much like one of those woke, diversity spends and an area where some savings could and should be instantly made!
