Interesting to hear Jenny Shipley's name mentioned with regard to the Pansy Wong businesses.
Any connection here with the RPL debacle?

Sorry Mac, I don't know the answer to your question.
I am no longer a shareholder, but I would love to receive an update on Richina from anyone who is still involved.
I'm not sure whether shareholders are allowed to comment about Richina. From what I recall shareholders approved a resolution which means that they are barred from communicating Richina's financial matters to anybody. I think this resolution was put forward by the Richina directors due to the changing status from a publically listed company to some sort of partnership structure.
Hi, is there anyone out there who can provide an update on the affairs of RICHINA ?
OR .. are you all playing for dead and allowing Richard Yan & his cohorts to walk all over you.
NB. It's not just about you. It's about deciding on the kind of society we wish to live in.
What has happened to Richina in the last two years ? I regret not retaining a few shares so I could follow this sad story ..
Well, it won't be sad for Richard Yan and Jenny Shipley of course !
Jenny has moved on to public service now and is chair of Genesis.
NZ taxpayers have given Richina Pacific a gift. Here is an article from stuff.co.nz today:
"Taonga gifted to Shanghai developer
Maori Affairs Minister Pita Sharples has gifted an artistic taonga to the property developer behind the proposed New Zealand House in Shanghai, touted as a "one-stop showroom" for Kiwis looking to do business in the Chinese city.
The art work depicting the three Maori baskets of knowledge has been given to Richina Pacific managing director Richard Yan in Shanghai as a Te Puni Kokiri-led Maori business delegation tours China.
The delegation includes business people from Whale Watch Kaikoura, Kiwa Media Group, food and beverage maker Wakatu Incorporation, forestry partnership CNI Holdings and farming business Atihau Whanganui Incorporation.
Former All Black captain Taine Randell is also on the trip, representing the Ngati Kahungunu Asset Holding Company, and he joined Sharples in a haka after the presentation from Yan.
Sharples said Yan's "innovative" plan to showcase New Zealand to Chinese consumers would see Maori culture and products playing a central role.
"New Zealand house is an enormous and generous gesture," Sharples said in a statement. "It can become a showcase for Maori and will build on our cultural connections to China."
Sharples said the Maori business delegation to China was part of a long-term strategy and was aligned to a push of the "NZ Inc" brand in major overseas markets.
"New Zealand's 100% Pure brand is one Maori have held and guarded for generations.
"Maori share ancient cultural bonds with our kin in China that we are proud to celebrate today."
The Maori Affairs Minister is due back in New Zealand on Friday after a two-week journey taking in Beijing, Guizhuo, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Jiangmen and Hong Kong. "
And on another note, a recent newspaper article reported that "former prime minister Jenny Shipley, chair of the Global Women organisation, called for the New Zealand Stock Exchange to follow Australia's lead and require publicly listed companies to report on the gender balance at board level."
Now, I'd take that a bit more seriously if it hadn't been "called" by someone so closely associated with the Richina Pacific debacle!
Mainzeal into receivership.

Does Richina still own them?
Apparently so. Or at least did, in November 2012.
