    I have so many questions. Why are rural GPs and nurses AFTER band A and B? Where do schools and universities etc. come into it? Why does corrections get an uncapped supply? Who ultimately decides what an “economically important service” is? #nzpol #mbie #prioritisationbands #fuel

    At last! A Queenstown slumlord has been fined a total of $81,050 for a series of deliberate and ongoing breaches of most tenancy regulations.

    That's only a couple of week's income for Conrad Goodger who claimed he'd been targeted by MBIE. He operated eight boarding houses, four of them unlawfully.

    While Luxon's tax cuts for landlords would've made this person even wealthier, maybe he's learned that sticking up a metaphorical finger to investigators wasn't such a good idea.

    More of this, please.

    "Immigration Border Operations staff will go on strike on New Year’s Eve at 6am, joining 3000 staff from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) after being “insulted” by the ministry’s zero pay offer."

    New Zealand Defence Force civilian staff are also on strike after being offered a similar zero pay increase in these inflationary times.

    MBIE / Immigration NZ has dumped Cobwebs Technologies, but is looking for a replacement. Does anyone really believe they paid for it for 2 years and just didn't use it?

    "For example, large-scale domestic green hydrogen production as an input to sustainable aviation fuels would increase electricity demand very substantially (at a time when we are already needing to significantly increase electricity generation)."

    Not if it uses the surplus electricity generated by intermittent renewables during off-peak hours, which is the whole point of green hydrogen 🤦‍♂️

    If it's true that NZ is one of the least corrupt countries in the world., I shudder to think how corrupt other countries must be...

    "The idea was hatched by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) as a so-called "lighthouse" project in 2020-21 after Internal Affairs asked it to come up with some special work for Microsoft."

    I've been seeing ads around town for the Digital Boost program run by NZ MBIE:
    business.govt.nz/do-business-o

    I'm wondering who decides what teaching resources are included in this, who will provide them, and how much public funding is going into promoting - in many cases - foreign-owned proprietary software and lock-in services?

    I am super stoked about the new #MBIE open research policy! - open access mandated for all research publications arising from MBIE funded research - Seems like deets will be up on the website tomorrow.
