she's doing the same thing in the new role - hardly consistent with hiding it, as a motivation.

I take your point about the extra workload but I do like the notion of government releasing well-structured info that others can do stuff with. Open Govt.
How about a blanket ruling that some classes of document are always to be published openly in structured electronic form (which might also avoid people wasting extra time making them look pretty)? Alongside that, the current request-triggered approach could apply to trickier sorts of info like early drafts, internal memos, file notes, etc.

Au contraire. Bennett is far from in trouble. She is being deployed to spread the 'investment' approach introduced in MSD across more government agencies, in what Bill English was describing before the election as the biggest shake-up of the public service in 50 years. But did we see him pressed for detail about that? Or read anywhere that introducing an actuarial approach is often a prelude to privatisation (as intended with ACC)?
Instead we have a remarkable media consensus that this government will be 'bland'. Sheep.

A lot of this would go away if agencies published everything unless there was a good reason not to.
Great idea. We pay for their work. Beyond well-defined privacy, commercial and military grounds it should all be published where the public and organisations can review and make use of it.

Before the election Labour were approached about running overtly as a coalition govt in waiting. They chose not to.

(Labour/Greens) OURS vs. (National/Key*) MINE
Yes. Always thought 'together' was a useful word for the left.
