What goes around- Comes around.
« on: February 20, 2015, 08:41:32 AM »
hi guys, we lost $2mill the govt lost $200mill... cheers
..Almost $200 million in taxpayers' money invested through the New Zealand Superannuation Fund has been lost after the collapse of a Portuguese bank where the money was invested - supposedly as a "risk-free" loan. However, an unusual retrospective rule change in Portugal had resulted in the insurance being voided.

Surely one of the government appointed EXPERTS should have picked up on this. I wonder if anyone will be held accountable?

Watchdog - surely you jest - Accountability and the Government - those words aren't meant to be used in the same sentence.  Politicians have more Teflon coating than pots and pans.  More ordinary NZ'ers money down the pan...
