By Steve Kilgallon ofPhoto: Green Party NZSuspended Green MP Darleen Tana told a migrant worker he was able to work in her husband's bike shop on a seasonal work visa - despite that visa clearly stating he could only work in horticulture and viticulture jobs. The worker who was told to work on a seasonal visa spoke to Stuff on condition of anonymity. The job change meant his sponsored work visa lapsed. While he waited for another sponsored visa, the worker secured a seasonal work visa, which limited him to working in horticulture and viticulture. Hoff-Nielsen had not responded to requests for comment before deadline but previously told Stuff the worker's ERA claim was without merit.

Where did all the IT jobs go?
Manufacturing and hospitality jobs were the second and third hardest hit, dropping 35.6% and 35.4% respectively. Interest.co.nz asked recruiter Robert Half what is going on, and the company's director Ronil Singh provided some answers for us. "The main reason why IT job ads have dropped the most is because we are coming off an IT jobs boom," Singh said. There is also the spectre of the much hyped artificial intelligence (AI) technology which is said to be able to replace some IT jobs, but hasn't had much of an impact on the IT jobs market, Robert Half noted. On average, salaries have increased a mere 0.6%, with only infrastructure and engineering workers getting an inflation-busting 9.5% pay rise.

GUEST BLOG: Bryan Bruce – Speed Kills-it’s that simple.
So why do Seymour and Brown want to raise speed limitsTransport Minister Simeon Brown and Regulation Minister David Seymourwant to raise some speed limits. For example, they want to reverse the previous Government’s moves to lower speed limits outside schools and in regional areas, and increase the limit to 120 km/hr from 110 km/hr on some new motorways. Where is the joy in the death of a mother,father, son or daughter from a speed related fatality? There are plenty of studies which show that higher speeds result in higher numbers of deaths an injuries. You can make a submission on the Brown/Seymour proposal to change the speed limits here:Bryan Bruce is one of New Zealand’s most important and respected documentary makers.
