'Can't do that': Employment expert raises concerns over Netball NZ's handling of Taurua saga

One expert has made a suggestion Netball New Zealand could be breaching employer obligations in events, including Noeline Taurua's suspension.

The Silver Ferns coach is being reinstated, after being stood down in September over player concerns.

She says she still doesn’t know why - and and has revealed there was no investigation.

Employment expert Max Whitehead says Netball New Zealand shouldn't have acted on this if it couldn't name players or complaints.

"The employer has an obligation on good faith and a natural justice to provide her with a name - and what the allegations are."
