Nothing surprises anymore in this govt's Trump-lite wrecking crew.

One of Health NZ czar Lester Levy’s top executives has a complaint against him for “physical contact” (No, not MP Andrew Bayly. . . . a different one). And now we learn from Newsroom’s Jonathan Milne that another one of his henchmen, an accountant/executive brought in to audit and cut Health NZ, has been censured in 2023 by his governing body, the Institute for Chartered Accountants. . . for his failings as an auditor.

You can’t make this stuff up: Levy’s top accountant was so bad at his job that his peak professional body issued a formal statement of disapproval.

You know how bad you have to be for a professional body to actually “out” one of it’s own?

You know how well-connected you have to be to Lester Levy to get the top job just a year after being censured by your own supervisory body?
