Investors must demand that Fletcher and Air NZ boards meet their social obligations, forgoing all boardroom compensation until the end of the year, rather than laying off staff.

A big thank you for the electronic signage above the Wellington’s urban motorway, currently messaging us to ‘‘Stay Safe’’ and ‘‘Be Kind’’. How wonderful if this could remain screened beyond the current crisis. If safety and kindness became integral to our way of life, we could eliminate traffic rage and maybe even domestic violence.
