  1. "Unemployment is at its highest level in more than a decade, but one expert offers a silver lining, saying that could actually be a sign of early economic growth."

    That's some impressively wishful thinking right there!

    This "one expert" isn't named, but a tags on this post says "Robert Walters". I'm guessing the one who runs one of many casual labour exploitation companies in Aotearoa;

  11. "... the Department of Corrections had posted a procurement notice on the website of GETS, the Government Electronic Tenders Service. Which is often scanned by journalists looking for stories about budget government spending."

    #ColinPeacock, 2026

    rnz.co.nz/podcast/mediawatch?s

    Not really a secret. So Mitchell not knowing about it is just more evidence that he's not paying attention to what's happening in his portfolio. The kneejerk response is typical though.

  15. Today on #RNZ the announcer mentioned that they had used #AI to get some details for their #MorningReport segment. And they admitted an error in reporting as the AI was wrong (shock and surprise).

    My confidence in RNZ has just plunged.

    Why is anyone trusting the enslopification regurgitations?

  20. Just listened to the #RNZ political panel this week hosted by the far more neutral Suzie Ferguson with commentators Phil Goff and Liam Hehir.

    I disagree with the attempts by National Party member Liam Hehir to defend Luxon’s inaction on Winston Peters which is, in my opinion, a huge mistake.

    NZ already knows Luxon’s not a leader but had Luxon done what the majority of the country is demanding and that is sack Winston Peters as foreign minister he would have substantially improved National’s chances in the upcoming election and maybe more so had Winston forced a snap election.

    I was also interested in Phil Goff’s response to a recent poll of only 400 people that suggests Chloe Swarbrick is at risk of losing Auckland Central to National and his idea that this ridiculously small poll will only give Chloe the opportunity to suggest Ak Central Labour voters give her their electoral vote while still giving Labour their party vote.

    I hopped into my car this evening and heard Wallace Chapman say if the Greens focused on saving trees I’d vote for them but with all this other stuff I’m not going anywhere near them.

    I wondered if making that statement on air was a breach of the #RNZ charter.

    I am considering making a complaint.

  40. @rnzbot_political What a strange half-article to be headlining the #RNZ website, since it summarises ACT’s new policy without giving any historical context or conservationists’ views.

    I accept that game animals like deer are a valued resource in NZ and there need to be places to hunt them. Still, that cannot be the whole country. There are plenty of well documented and often massive impacts that deer, goats, tahr, and chamois have on the native species they eat, and many of these species are threatened and declining.

    ACT is proposing that the government funds that are currently used by the Department of Conservation to manage games animals while protecting biodiversity all be given to the Game Animal Council for managing game animals nationally.

    I’m reminded of comedian Guy Williams’ New Zealand Today piece about tahr management. Tahr numbers ballooned under hunter-led management from the target national herd size of 10,000 to more than three times that. The Department of Conservation (in the previous government) had to step in and started culling tahr to bring their numbers back down, yet there was then an outcry from hunters.

    Most of NZ’s conservation land needs to be managed primarily for conservation. It makes sense to do that in collaboration with the Game Animal Council, as is done now. ACT’s policy to flip this around sounds like a recipe for extinctions.
