Don't want to start an off-topic debate here and I'm no expert in
employment law, but I understand that hiring someone on a temporary
contract for what is really a permanent role is no longer legal under
the Employment Relations Act. In fact I seem to recall that TVNZ came a
spectacular public cropper over that one recently...
