Criticism for Families Commission Chief

By: Newstalk ZB staff | Latest Political News | Monday April 16 2012 18:10

 

Former Chief Families Commissioner turned Labour MP, Rajen Prasad, has hit out at the current Families Commission Chief for reportedly saying Labour's plan to extend paid parental leave is unaffordable.

Dr Prasad told Newstalk ZB's Larry Williams it's wrong for the Chief Commissioner to make a decision that the government and Treasury should make.

"The Chief Commissioner by taking this view has just tainted his own reputation by taking a view that's been taken by the government and in that way his independence is just compromised."
