Not surprised Barry Matthews (CEO of the Corrections Department) is still in his job. He has had a long and successful career in a profession (policing) with a tough-minded culture.
By comparison, Minister responsible for Corrections, Judith Collins, is a lightweight.....AND she fluffed the whole thing by grandstanding. Attitude is no substitute for competence.
It's now obvious National wanted to get rid of Barry Matthews so they could appoint someone who would oversee the dismembering of the prison service and bring in private operators to suck at the public teat for profits doing what is now done at cost.
Good luck with that.
