(In)secure Vetting?

The Government has been put on the spot over a security company who successfully tendered for a security service at the Defence Force's HQ. NZ First MP Ron Mark reveals that the sucessfully vetted directors of the would be security operation are none other than the two who were exposed as unlicensed a year ago.

At that time they actually provided a security service in a Police station, one had been previously convicted for rape / serious assault and the other had a dishonesty conviction. Both these foxes reportedly were providing security in the chicken coop looking after a supposedly suicidal female when pinged at that time!

Now serious questions are being asked as to how this pair passed supposed secure vetting to win the tender. I would suspect is that, as is the norm for any military contract, the tender was awarded on price.

All Armed Forces members are more than aware that the very weaponry, they use daily to defend their lives, was provided by the lowest bidder. Nothing changes, even with security outsourcing!
