Back in July I questioned how long the stand off between the head of Oranga Tamariki and Maori advocates calling for her resignation would go on for.
Newshub/NZ Herald is now intimating Grainne Moss' resignation is imminent. With Tracey Martin out of parliament - who stood by Moss as Children's Minister - and her replacement, Kelvin Davis (as well as the PM) refusing to publicly express support for her, it's hardly surprising.
What a poisoned, politicised chalice that position is.
1999 - 2003 Jackie Pivac quit 10 months before contract end after a bad review of CYF
2003 Paula Tyler quit late 2005 just 14 months into a three year contract
2006 -2010 Public service veteran Ray Smith appointed
2010 Bernadine McKenzie appointed and quits in 2015 ahead of Rebstock report into CYF
2016 Grainne Moss appointed from the private sector and ....
Update: Grainne Moss says, "I'm not set to resign, I can confirm I'm staying in my role... I'm absolutely committed to the kaupapa, we've made lots of progress, but there's lots more to do and it's a privilege to be able to have an opportunity to improve the outcomes for tamariki, rangatahi and their whānau".
