We’ve dropped off 100s of written submissions to MBIE against the Govt’s procurement changes to remove the Living Wage.

In a fitting fashion the contracted Security Guard - impacted by the changes - dropped the forms off to the procurement consultation team. We hope MBIE takes note.

Three things ... one, this reeked of MBIE before I even got to the paragraph where they said it would be 'incubated' in MBIE; two, this ain't gonna be a research organisation, this is going to be a startup funder ('research' my flat dutch academic arse) ...

So MBIE officials recommended spending less, but targeting the money towards local music festivals. And Louise Upston chose to spend much more, but hand it all to multinational companies and overseas artists.

“MBIE says change of government means this month's report showing 300,000 can't afford power 'no longer under active consideration'”

Well shame on MBIE anticipating the incoming Govt won’t give a s**t so they can continue not to too. #AoNZpol

hearing that the guy doing this works in management for MBIE lmao
Someone seems to have dropped a bunch of money on Twitter ads to push SA "white genocide" propaganda specifically at NZers which is very odd, but also might be an early indication of what right-wing parties here might dip into soon

Latest weekly jobs data. This is not what a recovery looks like. Job ads online from MBIE is the second chart. Wellington / Auckland stuck at GFC levels. At some point, folks will work out slumps stay slumped until something changes.

a quirk of killing the Marsden and replacing it with an MBIE-run fund is that MBIE caps the number of apps-per-university for their larger grants

the Marsden was an even field: any academic could apply. if its replacement has caps, it further restricts our scientists' ability to fund their labs
tough to overstate how quickly science funding in New Zealand has been blown to pieces - on Friday the NZ govt straight up disbanded the Marsden fund (our version of the NSF)

it'll be replaced by a 'transition fund' with less money and zero information, as of yet, about what it will support

Reminder:

Govt put Labour's gas transition plan in the bin.

Industrial gas switching grants (GIDI), defunded. Programme in the bin.

Industry partnerships for a high value, low emissions future? You guessed it, ripped up.

Gas 'crisis' warning as MBIE warns again supply falling faster than expected

It’s a relief to know that despite years of incompetence and dishonesty over these failed projects, no MBIE senior executives are likely to lose their jobs. I’m so glad we have a world class public sector
