Over half of government retail crime advisory group resigns

A controversial government advisory group on retail crime has fallen apart with three of the five members resigning months before the group is due to finish its work. The latest person to quit is Retail New Zealand Chief executive, Carolyn Young. Questions have been raised about the group's value for money after it was revealed that its chairperson, Sunny Kaushal was paid $230,000 in its first year; something he vigorously defends. Retail NZ's Carolyn Young spoke to Lisa Owen.
