Phil Palfrey: Kaitao Intermediate School Principal on school lunch provider being placed into liquidation

Early Edition with Ryan Bridge - A podcast by Newstalk ZB

Another push for the Government to cut its losses with its revamped school lunches.  The Libelle Group - which is contracted to deliver about 125-thousand meals each day - is in liquidation.   The responsibility will now fall solely on Compass Group -- but Minister in Charge David Seymour says that won't impact lunch deliveries.  Rotorua's Kaitao Intermediate School Principal, Phil Palfrey told Andrew Dickens he has little faith it won't create further issues.  He wishes the Government could return to the original programme -- and believes the country can afford to do so. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
