How did veteran chairman Rob Campbell shoot himself in the foot?
Description
A series of posts have come back to bite the former Te Whatu Ora and Environmental Protection Authority chairman Rob Campbell.
On LinkedIn, he attacked National’s Three Waters policy and accused the party of dog whistling on co-governance.
These comments became a political lightning rod and have ultimately led to the Government sacking him from his leadership roles within the health and environmental sectors.
Today, Newstalk ZB political editor Jason Walls explains the rules of engagement for senior public officials, and NZ Herald business editor at large Liam Dann gives Damien a sense of who Rob Campbell actually is.
