I don't see this as a political issue.
IRD do not liquidate businesses until they have done all possible to assist those businesses to pay their taxes.
The process takes a long time, sometimes years.

Sorry folk. I was channelling Rich when I posted this :)

Merry Xmas :)

So they could not pay their tax. The IRD cares about such things and shows
the company the liquidation door. Happens all the time. Companies do not
make it.

Market forces are Governing.

The IRD was in operation during the wholw 9 years of the last National Government and acted in the same way, went out and did its job.

Pooh trolls again.

Of course he was - he has little or no understanding of underlying
issues, but like the hypothetical monkey typists, he can inadvertently
point out issues that he is not aware of. I do not know the
circumstances of this firm, and the inability to pay tax is often the
final step of many that leads to insolvency.

The last National government have played favourites with big companies
such as Fletchers, but also encouraged a policy of lowest cost for
many contracts - the previous standards being more lowest cost subject
to ability to provide, and a cautious approach to developing
competition by granting small contracts to enable true competition. As
a result we have large contracts to temporary structures that have
effectively no "skin in the game" - they borrow money to get
cosntruction underway using sub-contractors, and those temporary
companies can themselves be conveniently folded after taking profit,
leaving subbies to founder. I understand at least one of the new
highways was n that basis. We also know that some of National's
contracts did not work out well - for example by-passing (and then
closing) our own rail support by giving a contract to overseas, which
through inadequate control ended up with a lot of remidial work and
extra cost. Public provate partnerships have enriched some private
companies, again often at the expense of local companies as well as
the taxpayer.

So having New Zealand companies folding in what is likely to be an
industry with low people availability is not good - its just another
part of the now acknowledged disaster that National made of our
housing industry.

Dream on troll :)

That is a perfect description of YOU Rich. not a bloody clue about ANYTHING!

but like the hypothetical monkey typists, he can inadvertently

As always you refuse to understand that company's like people and political party's are usually responsible for their own bad decisions. YOU are happy to blame government for everything except when it's a Labour government. Even when
it's only in power
because of the spiteful behaviour of an drunk dwarf:)

The last National government have played favourites with big companies
such as Fletchers, but also encouraged a policy of lowest cost for

Lowest cost for government contracts is ALWAYS a factor Rich. Only someone with
your total lack of understanding of issues would think otherwise.

- the previous standards being more lowest cost subject
to ability to provide, and a cautious approach to developing
competition by granting small contracts to enable true competition.

BULLSHIT so typical of the grubby little communist you are Rich! The standards you whine about have been in place for more years than you're capable of comprehending through many, many changes of government. Hell Clark even gave a handout to Sir Peter
Jackson!

<typical Rich crap snipped as the poor wee sausage has obviously over imbibing over the last couple of days.

So having New Zealand companies folding in what is likely to be an
industry with low people availability is not good - its just another
part of the now acknowledged disaster that National made of our
housing industry.

Cite please if you're capable. If not get your five(?) year old grand daughter to give you a hand.

So my channelling of you was bang on Rich. Thanks for confirming that your a comprehensionless communist commissar :)

Oh seems like you had a VERY Merry Xmas :)
