Text of Carmel Sepuloni MP's fb post on Saturday 14 March 2026 at 3:45 PM

A number of our NZ PM’s and foreign affairs ministers have been bestowed Samoan Matai titles over the years but I do not recall any of them asking for them! Two that were well respected in Samoa - Helen Clark and Jacinda Ardern never received titles. I’m not sure if they were offered them and declined or if it wasn’t raised with them but what I know for sure is that neither of them would have even contemplated asking.
Meanwhile Chris Luxon put in a request for a Matai title? All due respect to Samoa and the village from which he will receive the title. I certainly would not want my criticism of Luxon to reflect on them but the shamelessness of the NZ PM - this is embarrassing.
I’m glad I won’t be there to witness this - actually none of the three current NZ Samoan MPs (all from the Labour Party) will be there, because the PM didn’t invite any of us to be part of his big delegation.

Headline: Reserve Bank chair Neil Quigley resigns with immediate effect

Reserve Bank chair Neil Quigley has resigned with "immediate effect" after months of scrutiny of his handling of Adrian Orr's resignation as Governor.

The announcement arrived on Friday evening in a brief statement from Finance Minister Nicola Willis, thanking Quigley for his 15 years of service on the board, nine of them as chair.

"Mr Quigley has decided that having overseen a number of key workstreams for the Bank, now is the appropriate time for him to hand over to a new Chair," Willis said.

"He leaves the Bank well-positioned for the future. I thank him for his service and wish him well for the future."

Speaking to RNZ shortly after, Willis was more forthcoming. She said Quigley tendered his resignation following a discussion with her earlier on Friday about the "ongoing criticism" of the board's handling of information surrounding Orr's departure on 5 March.

"My concern was that the bank's reputation was being impacted. He agreed with me that that was a serious matter," Willis told RNZ.

"If he had not offered his resignation, I would have asked him for it."

Willis said she expected the "highest levels of transparency and public accountability" from organisations she worked with: "this matter should have been handled better."

Deputy chair Rodger Finlay would exercise the functions of chair until a new appointment was made, Willis said.

Deputy chair Rodger Finlay would exercise the functions of chair until a new appointment was made, Willis said.

Despite the turbulence, Willis said she had full confidence the bank's board would learn from these events and "draw a line under this".

The recruitment process for a new governor was "well-advanced," she said, with an announcement expected in "the next few weeks".

This is not the first time Willis has publicly expressed disapproval around Quigley's handling of Orr's departure on 5 March.

Does this mean the call to USTR was not successful or does this mean there was no call (still on call waiting?) or is the USTR not the person to negotiate a lower tariff? bsky.app/profile/bloo... Quote from Trade and Investment Minister Todd McClay 1 August 2025 press release #AoNZPol #NZPol

Quote from 1 August 2025 press release by Trade and Investment Minister Todd McClay

“I am seeking an urgent call with the US Trade Representative to make New Zealand’s position clear: this increase risks harming exporters and consumers of both countries. The US currently faces an average tariff of just 0.8 per cent when exporting to New Zealand, far lower than what we face into their market,” Mr McClay says.

Simon Lyall's skeet with alt-text: I published my analysis the 2025 InternetNZ Board Election here: blog.darkmere.gen.nz/2025/08/anal... #InternetNZ

Screenshot of text at the end of the page linked:

My thoughts

* The FSU had 38% of votes between their two candidates so had one position locked in from the start assuming their voters put them 1-2
* Very few voters ranked both FSU and non-FSU candidates
* Dylan picked up most of his votes in the first round. I felt that those that didn’t rank him first tended to rank him well below other candidates.
* Kaye-Maree was the opposite. Only 7% of people ranked her their first choice but she steadily picked up votes as non-FSU candidates were eliminated
* Bianca was in between. 11.5% of the first round votes and steadily picked up additional votes but usually slower than Kaye-Maree. I suspect her name being at the start of the alphabet might have helped a little
* Adam didn’t get a lot of Alphabet help however. He was ranked high in many lists and got 10.5% of the first-round votes. However he got very few transfers in rounds 2 and 3 so was eliminated in round 3 by being just behind Kaye-Maree (helped by her big transfer from Peter-Lucas)
* The candidates eliminated in the first round were mostly in the back-half of the alphabet. Except Brynn who wasn’t on the FSU list but was marked as “rank at bottom” on anti-FSU lists.
* Thanks to INZ for getting the Detailed result out on-the-night
* Overall the result feels plausible and the transfers mostly make sense.

Who pay equity law change impacts www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360... Teachers & education support workers, educational psychologists, social workers, youth workers, probation officers, corrections psychologists, nurses & healthcare workers incl hospice, Plunket, lab staff, midwives #AoNZPol #NZPol

Missing text that came before the screenshot:

Text In bold: "The law change meant 33 pay equity claims were cancelled. This impacted:"

Heading in bold: "Teachers"

Screenshot of article text :

The entire teaching workforce, including early childhood, primary and secondary teachers, have made pay equity claims.

The vast majority of teachers are women.

In early childhood, 97% of teachers are women.

In primary, 85% of teachers are women.

In high schools, 63% of teachers are women. That could be an issue for any future pay equity claim, because the Government has changed the law so that the definition of a female-dominated work force would be upwards of 70%.

PPTA boss Chris Abercrombie said they would look at how to restart a pay equity claim in the future.

Support workers, education advisors, and educational psychologists also have pay equity claims.

Heading in bold: "Social workers"

Social workers, youth workers, probation officers and corrections psychologists have all launched pay equity claims.

For probation officers, 68% of the workforce are women. That means they will not be able to restart any pay equity claim.

Heading in bold: "Nurses and healthcare workers"

Hospice workers, Plunket nurses, lab staff and midwives all had pay equity claims in train.

Hundreds of thousands of healthcare workers had followed Kristine Bartlett’s landmark 2012 court, after she successfully argued that she and other rest home workers were being underpaid because they were women.
