Your post is saying ministers reject advice from officials? I was generally replying to this "You do realise that government depts have IT staff who could inform them things so the Ministers can then explain it? You do realise that most "experts" in AI, and pretty much anything, have had to learn about it? Even people who have "self taught" themselves about AI have spent time learning it."

and got a bit pissed off at the announcements made yesterday by Nicola Willis generally, so apologies for the dump, it was more aimed generally at people like Wiz and others who are taking pleasure in others misery.
Decades ago, my brother went out with a girl whose brother was a policy writer and researcher for what was the Ministry of Transport back in the day.... yes, I am that old.

I had a discussion with him once about the authors of reports would deliberately write them in a way to suit their own bias.

Followed his career through the ranks of various departments and the highest position he got to was he was, for a time, the Acting Director-General of Health. Now, he's left being a civil servant and is a partner at Earnest and Young.

Absolutely. Not saying there's not an entrenched culture that could do with some unravelling - and that entrenched culture will have the threads of neoliberalism woven throughout.

Change is needed. But no one here seriously believes that National and this government are the ones to deliver that, given their slash and burn to date, with no rhyme or reason.

We're facing problems on a grand scale that needs democracy strengthened, not weakened, bipartisan strategies and agreements, turning towards common wealth and infrastructure.

The right are aware that such unity is detrimental to their power, and act accordingly.
