The uneasy truce between Netball New Zealand and Dame Noeline Taurua already appears under strain. RNZ understands the board of the national body have "started a process" to talk to Taurua about comments made during a media blitz earlier this week. Sports correspondent Dana Johannsen spoke to Lisa Owen.

It's Friday which means Kate Hawkesby and Tim Wilson are back with Mike Hosking to Wrap the Week that was. They discuss the ongoing saga with Netball NZ and Dame Noeline Taurua, which New Zealand restaurants could earn a Michelin star, as well as fulfilling the secret purpose of Wrapping the Week: bullying Mike.

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. NZ Inc.: 7/10 A good week. Building consents, credit demand, house listings – up, up and up. Noeline Taurua: 6/10 Spoke for the first time, but in a way where the knots you are tied up in get in the way of the words. SCOTUS: 2/10 It went about as badly as you might have expected, unless you thought an argument about being a megalomaniac with uncontrollable powers was going to fly. Sir David Beckham: 8/10 He is a story of inspiration and lovely with it. I'm a fanboy. New York: 2/10 Mamdani is likeable and slick. But so was Jacinda. Transmission Gully: 2/10 How can a new road need $32 million worth of repairs, unless you didn't do it properly in the first place? Which then leads to the question - why didn't you do it properly in the first place? LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Here is a line up: Alex Salmond, former head of Scotland, Dame Noeline Taurua, and Siouxsie Wiles, as in the microbiologist. The Salmond family is wanting their estate made bankrupt. It comes out of a judicial review over the handling of a couple of complaints against him by civil servants that turned out to be “tainted”. In other words, his defence was successful, but the cost of winning proved too high. Noeline, I have no idea what her lawyers cost, but you would hope as part of the deal she gets the bill covered. But I doubt it. And then Siouxsie Wiles, who you may remember took her employer, Auckland University, to court and won. She took mediation arbitration – it went back and forward for a while, but ultimately ended in court. During Covid she was harassed, she claimed her employer should have done more to protect her. She has now launched a crowd funding page to help pay her bills. The commonality here is all three appear to be on the right side. They have been wronged, they have had to defend themselves, and yet all three appear out of pocket for the experience. Wiles has spent thousands – hundreds of thousands. She has taken loans, her and her husband, she won but she is paying off loans. Inherently here is a fault with the law. The costs, even when awarded your way, never cover the bill. My question: why not? Is justice really served or seen to be done if you can be victorious, if you can defend your name, your honour, or reputation and still go broke? Doesn't that mean the deepest pockets will always triumph? The State v Salmond. A sport v a coach. The university v a microbiologist. It's one thing to settle – yes it saves court time, but do you settle because you will be broke if you don't? Is being broke and right worth it? Is launching a crowdfunding bid acceptable when you didn't do anything wrong? Is the justice system serving us properly when even the victorious and validated aren't really winners?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How is it possible that the Dame Noeline Taurua crisis has actually got worse today? How is it possible that she's got her job back today and this thing has still got worse? I'm getting the impression that Netball New Zealand do not realize how bad this is today. If they don't realize the enormous damage that Dame Noeline has done to them by going on at least three radio interviews and one TV interview and saying repeatedly the same thing - that she does not know how she was stood down, that there was no investigation to clear her before she was brought back - if they don't realize how enormous this is, I can't explain it to them. They're not responding today to Dame Noels' comments and they're not saying if she's right or wrong. All we know is that the Netball New Zealand minder who was with her when she was doing the interviews told her to stop telling Mike Hosking that she didn't know why she was stood down. Now let me, for the benefit of everyone - but particularly I think for Netball New Zealand - explain how bad this is. None of us here in this office can think of a single employment disagreement that has been dragged out in public like this for this long with this much interest in it. Not even, I would say, the John Hawkesby-Richard Long case back in the late 90s, which was a really big deal at the time - not even that went on this long and was this badly handled. None of us can also think of a single time when Mike Hosking interviewed someone over four interview slots, which is what happened with Dame Noels this morning. Even during COVID, Jacinda Ardern maybe got three slots maximum. Noeline got four, that's how big this is. It's certainly big enough, I think, for somebody at Netball New Zealand to lose their job now. I'm sorry to say this, because I've got a lot of respect for Matt Whineray, the chair of the board, but I think this is now big enough for him to actually have to consider standing down. Either him or the CEO Jennie Wyllie - or frankly, both of them. Either that or they tell us that Dame Noeline is wrong and that what she said on air this morning was wrong. But if her version of events is right, then what has happened to her is completely unacceptable, and Netball New Zealand must indicate that they think this - that they do not condone this kind of ill treatment of employees because their judgment is now in question. We're all looking at this and thinking - if you can stuff up something this badly, what else are you going to stuff up? They cannot afford for us to not believe in their judgment because they are now far from through the worst of what they're going through, with the financial crisis that they're in and the broadcasting crisis that they're in, right? They have not actually solved their broadcasting problems and they have not saved the domestic competition. If they want us to trust that they know what they're doing, and if they want us to not question them at every single turn, then I'm sorry - someone absolutely has to lose their job over this.

One expert has made a suggestion Netball New Zealand could be breaching employer obligations in events, including Noeline Taurua's suspension. The Silver Ferns coach is being reinstated, after being stood down in September over player concerns. She says she still doesn't know why - and and has revealed there was no investigation. Employment expert Max Whitehead says Netball New Zealand shouldn't have acted on this if it couldn't name players or complaints. "The employer has an obligation on good faith and a natural justice to provide her with a name - and what the allegations are." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dame Noeline Taurua insists she hasn't agreed to any changes in the Silver Ferns' high performance environment.

Mike Hosking's interview this morning with reinstated Silver Ferns coach Dame Noeline Taurua could only have gone one of two ways. She could have spilled the beans. Or she could have danced around the legalities of a gagging order. She could have spilled the beans and made Netball NZ look like a bunch of incompetents. Or she could have played it safe. Funny thing is, she didn't spill the beans - but still managed to make Netball NZ look like a bunch of incompetents, when she said she was never informed why she was stood down and that there was no investigation into the claims made about her. That was the point where the interview was getting really curious and then, bang, she was being ushered away to a TV interview and had to end the call - promising to call back later. It was probably the point too where text messages full of exclamation marks started flying between the honchos at Netball NZ. Prior to that, Dame Noeline had said to Mike that she felt somewhat vindicated being reinstated. She said she was elated to be back but described the last few months as being “very horriffic”. Dame Noeline also confired to Mike that she was constrained in terms of what she could say. She said she could have taken legal action to get her job back - because she believes most of the players support her - but she didn't want Netball NZ money and taxpayer money being blown on lawyers. If I was a suspicious person, I would say that Dame Noeline and her PR minder realised she might have crossed the line talking about the lack of an explanation and the lack of an investigation, and that's why she ended the call. But I did check the TV and she was on-screen a short time after she spoke with Mike. Either way, I think Netball NZ is looking worse today than it has during this whole saga. To stand down its head coach without telling her why and without conducting any sort of investigation screams “Mickey Mouse” to me. And shows why chief executive Jennie Wyllie couldn't explain last week why Dame Noeline was back. This has turned out to be more of a cluster than we thought.

The fallout from the Silver Ferns coaching saga has deepened over the past 24 hours after selector Gail Parata revealed she's resigned in protest over Netball New Zealand's treatment of Dame Noeline Taurua.

Former Silver Ferns selector Gail Parata has rebuked a lack of due process by Netball New Zealand in standing down coach Dame Noeline Taurua and assistant Debbie Fuller. The pair have been sidelined after allegations of an unsafe high performance environment, which remain unresolved. The issues are understood to date back to a Silver Ferns camp in January. Parata resigned as selector last month in a show of support for Taurua, and she told Mike Hosking no formal complaint was lodged. She says there's about 31 people in the Silver Ferns environment, including management and other athletes, and they only spoke to five Silver Ferns and two Junior Silver Ferns. “Why did they not speak to everyone? That's really, really disappointing.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Most stories need a hero, and Gail Parata might fit the role in this netball mess. Or is it now a scandal? Gail Parata has resigned as a national netball selector and in doing so has gone out guns blazing and, because of that, has given the rest of us a decent insight into what a shambles the Dame Noeline Taurua story really is. This thing is now weeks old since she got stood down. The story and the incidents go back, apparently, to a camp in summer. Taurua's treatment, writes Parata on social media, sends a chilling message to every coach in the country. The coaching profession's voice has been sidelined. Even the most successful, world class coaches are now dispensable. The very essence of coaching, relationships, trust and lived experience no longer seems to hold weight with those making decisions. She's on a roll at this point, God bless her. Who, she asks, would step into a role now knowing that one complaint, one misinterpretation or one moment taken out of context could end your career? The value of this, quite apart from the fact it's the first time as far as I know we have heard from a so called third party, is that the so-called "third party" seems to infer what we all suspect. This thing got blown out of all proportion. This thing, whatever it is, seems to involve some sort of upset, moaning, whining, fragile, ego-related overreaction to an event at the camp. In other words, some players got huffy over Noeline's approach. So the big question for Netball NZ is just how many casualties do you want? You have star players publicly calling you out and wanting their coach back, you've got lawyers in six minute blocks, and now a selector who clearly feels someone has to break the silence and flush a few truths out. The damage is to Noeline, to the sport, to the selection panel and to coaches generally because the questions raised by Parata are all excellent and, like all the other questions in this stinking mess, require some answers.
