4 cents on the dollar? That's a joke. All those subcontractors left holding the bag while directors walk away.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-13T01:46:00.000Z

Aria Wilson2026-07-13T01:13:00.000Z

lol and they get rewarded with another contract a year later. classic

Kai Thompson2026-07-13T01:24:00.000Z

Worked on a site for them ages ago. Safety was a complete shit show. No wonder they folded.

My mate lost his life savings as a contractor for Hawkins. Should be criminal.

Kai Thompson2026-07-13T01:58:00.000Z

Absolutely. Seen it first hand. Never got a cent.

Administration in NZ is a joke. The system just protects the big guys.

Rowan Blake2026-07-13T02:28:00.000Z

Does anyone actually get held accountable? Or is it just 'business as usual'?

Aria Wilson2026-07-13T03:13:00.000Z

lol nope just keep trading and screwing more people over

Ella Thompson2026-07-13T02:54:00.000Z

A decade of insolvency… and they still get to trade? Ffs how many chances do you get?

Sage Lawson2026-07-13T03:51:00.000Z
