Chris Swasbrook on the case about PRC directors conveniently forgetting about their involvement in Pike River. The honourable Radford gets a good mention quoting his public profile in NZO reports
"Tony Radford ACA, is a founding director of New Zealand Oil & Gas Limited, which was established in 1981. Tony used his accounting background to build a career in the petroleum and mining industries. Since retiring as CEO of NZOG in 2007 he has continued as non-executive Chairman of the company. He is also a director of Pan Pacific Petroleum. Tony is a fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. He is a member of the HSE and Operational Risk Committee."
Maybe his experience with Pike is a good attribute to have as HSE and Operational Risk Commitee member ... he should have learnt that shareholder demands for greater profits should not lead to tsaking shortcuts and all that
