    “It appears that risk has now criticised. Who knew GWRC was in such a bad state it is now sugesting taxpayers may need to bail them out.” These two sentences in the second paragraph of this press release are meaningless. Is someone free to explain what is meant by them?

    Another point that no one has made clear is the question of the $150million debt guarantee to CentrePort for its borrowings. Is this debt facility to the port covered by the GWRC’s own liability insurance? Perhaps someone far closer to the action than me can clarify this.

    This is a press release, isn’t it? [Yes – exactly as the Taxpayers Union wrote it.]
