Breaking News

Last week the NZPFU and PSA wrote to the new Board Chair Raveen Jaduram setting out the failure of FENZ to properly consult and the impact of the current lack of confidence in the Board and Kerry Gregroy, as sound grounds to halt the restructure. We were putting the Board on notice that we were preparing legal proceedings which will be filed as necessary. 

The Board Chair has now responded refusing to intervene and therefore legal proceedings will be filed. 

NZPFU and PSA members will be kept informed of the legal proceedings when filed and the implications on the restructure.

The bombshell news that FENZ CE Kerry Gregory deliberately failed to notify the Minister, and that FENZ spent $500,000 on the as-yet-undisclosed issue that has been referred to the Serious Fraud Office, is just the latest in a litany of issues that should have had him sacked a long time ago. On the limited information available, it appears to be a serious matter involving the fire service levy, which is the primary source of FENZ’s $850 million budget.

FENZ’s Board and Senior Management are heavily criticised in the Parliamentary Report into the Management of FENZ’s fleet. It records a lack of confidence in the membership of the Board and goes as far as recommending that the Government considers whether FENZ should even have the power to procure fleet and other services without formal oversight and intervention.
