At least one headline-grabbing ministerial announcement had not been posted on the government’s official website, when Point of Order checked early this afternoon.
We learned from other sources
- that Michael Wood has been stood down as Transport Minister over over failing to properly disclose shares owned in Auckland Airport; and
- Rino Tirikatene, Minister of State for Trade and Export Growth, is travelling to Singapore today on a mission (unabashedly discriminatory) to “promote business investment for wāhine entrepreneurs, and explore investment opportunities for Māori land-based aquaculture”.
