The comments on Reserve Bank of New Zealand independence from Governor Orr are here earlier:
Here is the link to the article written by Business NZ chief executive Kirk Hope that orr responded to:

- Business confidence would be better supported if the Reserve Bank focused on a conservative, principles-based, no-surprises approach to monetary policy.
Yowza!
