Jones doing his job - advocating for regionsPHOTO/STUFF Regional Economic Development Minister Shane Jones is in a spot of bother over his comments about Air NZ's role in the regions. Cracks that Regional Development Minister Shane Jones is threatening to bust wide open. For its part Air NZ is reminding the Government that its majority stake in the company doesn't give it a say on strategy or operations. Just as Air NZ shouldn't interfere in the politics, neither is a minister allowed to muscle in on their business. Jones is right to highlight that cutbacks in flights and services run counter to regional development - his job - and represent a sorry trend.
