Carter Holt cladding 'inherently defective', appeal court hears
Carter Holt Harvey's cladding sheets and systems used through 880 school buildings were "inherently defective" and the Ministry of Education is entitled to sue the building products maker, the Court of Appeal heard today. In the second day of a three-day hearing, the ministry's counsel, Jim Farmer QC, told Justices Tony Randerson, Lynton Stevens, and Mark Cooper that the product liability claim against Carter Holt is a preventative measure to recoup the costs posed by the faulty cladding. Whether the cladding met industry norms and standards at the time, or if Carter Holt's contracts with merchants and building contractors limited its liability were a matter of debate, and would be decided by the evidence at trial.

Aussies overpaid, hard to fire: economist
Bob Baur, chief global economist at Principal Global Investors, says the local labour market is in need of reform if the economy is going to shift from its dependance on mining for growth. Dr Baur says Australia needs to start making things again, and exporting its services, like education. "The best thing for Australia would be some significant economic reform in terms of maybe loosening up the labour market and making it easier for businesses to take on workers or let workers go in difficult times," Dr Baur told AAP. Dr Baur said Australia needed to follow the footsteps of the US, where manufacturing was thriving again after having lost six million jobs through the 90s and noughties to the cheaper labour markets of China and India.
