Good scoop from @marcdaalder, and quite striking that the Clerk of the House would make such a pointed critique of the Government's planned cuts in an email to staff

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 🤩
