Does ANYONE take responsibility for their actions?

A case where the giving of a fishing rod without the skill to use it doesn't work any better than the giving of fish???

i think the issue here is that they SAID they knew how to fish.....

I always blame the other guy and I take full responsibility for that.

I always take full responsibility for anything that is successful, and blame someone else for anything that isn't. This is called management.

As 1 managed person, I'll take the blame - but not the credit.

The whole situation is all a big joke. It's interesting they are happy to run the circus, while it's obvious that firstly they can't, and secondly everyone is laughing at them.

I certainly never want something for nothing, or to be made a fool of by my peers...

How many generations must perpetuate this crap. Lets get on with life.

I went to a polytech that had to close branches due to bad management, for example. The head of the place wanted a new Fairlane as a company car. The treasurers said they could only afford to get him a corona. He turns up with a flash new fairlane (as a corona didnt quite reflect his level of Mana in his eyes. He had traded in some of the polytech vans for it. Te mutunga ke mai o te rori o te tangata.

They have a cultural imperative to be trough feeding, incompetent parasites. You gotta problem with that?

I take it you mean the government beaurocrats, Lou....

The Treaty guaranteed a right for a certain minor proportion of the population to hold the major proportion of the population to ransom. Now just dig deep fellas, pay those taxes and let the f***ers continue to bleed you dry.

It just goes on and on and on...

TWOA has grown pretty exponentially in the last few years, and you expect teething problems with any organisation that goes from under 10,000 students to 65000 students in 5 years. The main reason were $20 million short is because at the start of this whole saga, Mallard chose to withhold a $20 million treaty payment they were supposed to give TWOA. But that doesnt make good headlines does it :-)

I've seen a bit of nepotism here, but its not the big scale larceny stuff they keep going on about in the papers, its just things like a few staff being fucking incompetent but not being fired because they are whanau of someone high up the food chain.

TWOA published a rebuttal of all the allegations awhile ago, a copy of which can be found online HERE (http://www.twoa.ac.nz/news/half_paper_ad.pdf)

For the most part its not a bad place to work, and as a white middle class national/act supporter, I really do think its just a bunch of BS politicing for the most part. I also think Mallard is acting the way he is because if him and Comrade Clarke are seen to "stomp on the cheeky darkies" it may attract some of the more centrist votes that would otherwise go to the more right leaning parties
