    I think he should have fallen on his sword already, once that report was released.

    Just like Barry Manilow when his first record was released.

    He might go with a golden handshake but I doubt very much if he will be sacked outright.

    Mmm, yes I did think that. Persuaded to resign, perhaps

    He had to make do with the resources ( or lack thereof ) given to his department by his political masters. He will be replaced & don't be surprised when his successor is somehow linked to the "key" administration







    this seems so unlikely as to be preposterous.

    He's refusing to fall on his sword..... I wonder if they have enough to sack him without a lawsuit.

    Well - I guess they have to go thru the same process as 'normal' staff.

    Are the failures DIRECTLY attributed to him? Could outside items like funding helped contribute to the issue?

    Has he had written warnings?

    Has a government minister made it clear they want him gone in the press before actually having everything there to fire him?

    Looks like this is going to cost us (thats us the taxpayer - not you skidmark) a lot of $$$$

    Yep, I think that's the crux of it.

    While he is ultimately responsible for the mess, I don't think he's had the required "perfomance management" to be able to be unilaterally sacked. I understand he had a performance review WHILE the report was being penned which was positive.

    He's the guy in charge, his department have continually fucked up badly whilst under "his control", so he, as the boss, should get the bullet!

    But...

    This is New Zealand Authority - no care - no responsibility - no morality - and fuck the public!..... (in more ways than one)

    Embattled Corrections Chief Executive Barry Matthews will remain in his job and not resign.
    Matthews has been under pressure since Corrections Minister Judith Collins refused to express confidence in him this week following a damning report from the Auditor-General into the failings of the parole system.
    Matthews met his employer the State Services Commissioner over the past two days and it is understood he has successfully argued to keep his job.

    Kinda makes Judith Collins look like a DRAMA QUEEN.
    Mabey next time the minister will learn to go through the proper procedures to achieve the end result she desires.
