He said he had not seen a breakdown for the $11.2 million.
“My take on this is that it is a private issue WWL is negotiating with the NZ Government,” Ogilvie said. “I expect the Covid claim will be scrutinised by the relevant Government department and paid out according to their assessment.”
Until there was a detailed response from the Government, “I’m assuming that WWL/Mike Scott can comment only in the generalities that he has made to you and to the council”.
