Things I learned today: apparently mentioning that the PM has expectations of govt agencies, and that their work programme is "oriented towards the Prime Minister’s priorities" is "confidential" #OIA #Bullshit
As is the fact that agencies have limited capacity and must make tradeoffs, and will tell the Minister if this is an issue #OIA #Bullshit
And the fact that they discussed their work programme with their previous Minister, and have documents attached in an appendix #OIA #Bullshit
I mean, the level of paranoia and control freakery here...
Anyway, here's the Ministry of justice's 2022 BIM to Kiri Allen, noting the difference in redactions. There's a link on the first page to the version on the Beehive website. documentcloud.org/documents/2360…

US spy balloon mania hits NZ...
There's an underlying assumption here that NZ should give a shit about foreign reconnaissance overflights. I'm really not sure we should. They wouldn't reveal anything that isn't already public: that we're a small, defenceless country, without any secret military bases etc.
OK, so NZDF would probably be upset by that, because they like to think they're important. The rest of us, not so much. We _know_ we're small and defenceless and have nothing really to hide. We like it that way (or at least, don't care)

This is pretty significant: the climate commission has recognised the CCR is broken and recommended a massive increase in the trigger price, to $171, applying from 2023
CCR volumes will remain the same, but they'll be priced at a level which should make them unavailable. There'll also be a two-tier CCR, with a $40 price spread before full release (this seems too small)
The immediate impact: the current scam of polluters triggering the CCR every year to get more credits will end. Which is a good thing.

Elite political journos talking about the Greens "imploding" by requiring Shaw to be re-elected. But do they really think core Green supporters will stop voting for them over the party being democratic?
And do they really think the issues driving others to vote for them - climate change, inequality, housing, water - are going to get notably weaker, or that the status quo parties are going to be more convincing on these issues?
What makes the Greens appealing to "middle class" voters is that they're actually offering solutions to huge issues the status quo parties are ignoring (or at best, dragging their feet on), and which those voters are increasingly worried by.
