New: The Government's budget cuts extend to the Parliamentary Service, according to an internal email obtained by Newsroom.

Experts say this is just as constitutionally concerning as slashing funding for the Office of the Clerk.

@FrancesCook My friend’s kid referred to bras as “booby traps” for a long time after my friend jokingly called it that in a moment of thinking she was funny 😂

A bit of news (after 2 hours of quality speculation, thank you @tmurphyNZ) I’m stoked to say I’m heading back to RNZ in February to be their Political Editor. I’ve loved every minute of my time @NewsroomNZ and will be sad to leave, but also pumped to join the talented RNZ crew 🤩
