Michael Reddell: Former Reserve Bank economist lays into Adrian Orr's reappointment as Reserve Bank Governor - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

A former Reserve Bank economist has laid into Adrian Orr's reappointment as Reserve Bank Governor.

He'll spend another five years in the role, after the unanimous recommendation from the central bank's board.

Michael Reddell told Mike Hosking he wouldn't have given him the job.

He suggests he's fundamentally unfit for the job, from his personality and style, to the way his focus has been distracted onto other things, and the inflation figures.
