A group of senior business leaders say unless there is full transparency on the recommendations from a new Government Covid advisory panel it risks being seen as a cynical tactic aimed at dampening criticism.
The public call is the latest move by the group which includes chairman of Chorus NZ and Auckland Airport, Patrick Strange; Mercury Energy chair Prue Flacks; The Warehouse Group chairwoman Joan Withers; chairman of SkyCity, Summerset and Tourism Holdings Rob Campbell; and University of Auckland chancellor and Fisher & Paykel Healthcare chairman Scott St John.
