A Robin Hood -style policy, redistributing the big salaries of public service chief executives to lower-paid workers, would be more effective than the Government-ordered pay freeze, according to a leading business academic.

Prison officers union rejects chief ombudsman s scathing report © RNZ / Claire Eastham-Farrelly
The union for prison officers is rejecting a report pointing to the cruel treatment of inmates and people being locked in their cells for up to 23 hours at a time.
Chief ombudsman Judge Peter Boshier paid a surprise visit to Paremoremo prison in Auckland and identified two breaches of the UN Convention Against Torture and a culture of containment rather than rehabilitation.
Boshier found the length of time prisoners were being held in their cells at the country s only maximum security prison prevented any rehabilitation from happening.
Those segregated from fellow inmates were done so in breach of UN rules which said they could not be held in solitary confinement for longer than 15 days.
