The Reserve Bank has recently been advertising for a Principal Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Adviser. As the title suggests, it is a full-on embrace of left-wing ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ (DEI) philosophies and of course, a strong dose of the Treaty of Waitangi. How precisely this enhances the work of a bank is unclear, other than perhaps they are planning to disestablish this colonial service and distribute all funds equitably (I say this, tongue in cheek!). How much this will be paid is not clear, but I would suggest at least six figures and likely starting with a two.
