Hi there,
Happy to provide my perspective from a Tranche 2 however, managing the relationship with NZPFU is not
1982
part of my  remit, so it is probably more appropriate that Chris/ Alice respond.
 
What I would say is:
All applicants who have applied for the GM role and been found to be suitable following interview
Act 
can be, and are, considered for any vacancies.
All applicants who have applied for the GM role and have found to be unsuitable (at any stage of
the process) are therefore no longer considered for the vacancies.
 
Wattie’s email states that “Therefore there may be applicants that are the most suited that FENZ is
refusing to consider.”
 
In fact, our process is exactly to the contrary of this statement. All applicants have been or are being
considered, only those that have been found to be unsuitable are not still being considered. People
found to be suitable but who have not been offered (or have not accepted) a position remain
considered on an ongoing basis.
 
Information 
Together with new applicants whose suitability either has not yet been assessed or is in the process of
being assessed, anyone suitable is still being considered, therefore contrary to Wattie’s assertion, the
most suited are definitely still being considered.  Maybe Wattie could please provide an example of a
person who has been found to be suitable (following interview) and who has not yet been offered a
position and wants to be considered for a position which is still vacant.
 
In relation to clause 1.21.8, all GM vacancies have been advertised and every worker has been given the
opportunity, on not less than 14 days’ notice, to apply (other than for roles filled by redeployment). Every
Official 
application submitted during this process (which is ongoing) has received full consideration. Maybe Wattie
could please provide an example of a GM positions that has not been advertised (and not filled by
redeployment).
