Act Leader David Seymour's taken aim at the size of government. He's calling for a limit on the number of ministers, with no ministers outside cabinet, and no associate ministers other than in finance. There's currently 82 ministerial portfolios, held by 28 ministers, and he claims they're full of 'meaningless titles'. PSA National Secretary Fleur Fitzsimons told Ryan Bridge it's a hypocritical move from Seymour. She says both times Act have been in government recently, they've created new agencies.

Recently, the government has announced regulations for physician associates, or PAs. Minister of Health Simeon Brown says regulating this role "demonstrates the Government's commitment to patient safety and providing high quality care". The aim of regulating PAs would allow for more workers in the medical sector, and to entice overseas workers to fill gaps in rural practices. This move has faced backlash over concerns physician associates do not have the adequate medical expertise. In the UK, there have been multiple reports of medical malpractice resulting in patient deaths, which resulted in the launch of an independent review into the safety of PAs. Currently in Aotearoa, Simeon Brown says there are 50 PAs across 29 different clinics. News and Editorial Director, Joel, spoke to the National Secretary of the New Zealand Residential Doctors' Association or the NZRDA, Dr Deborah Powell, about her concerns with this announcement.

New reports reveal AI is seeing wider use across public and community services. The Public Service Association surveyed more than 900 of its members, with 55 percent of respondents saying AI is used at their place of work. Of this number, 45 percent admitted using it personally. PSA national secretary Kerry Davies says the increased use of AI isn't the key issue here - but the lack of training and guardrails is cause for concern. "AI in itself isn't so much the issue - it's the use of AI without proper supports and without proper training." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Public servants appear unconcerned by the Government's recent request to help identify further cost cuts. Thousands of public servants across all agencies have been asked in a census to identify taxpayer value in their work, and any changes needed. PSA National Secretary Fleur Fitzsimons told Andrew Dickens the survey was expected as it comes around every five years. She says they don't think it's going to lead to any more harsh cuts, because there is nothing left to trim. Fitzsimons says there is room for efficiencies, and she hopes the Government listens to workers ideas. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As previously discussed, New Zealand First leader, Winston Peters, has proposed a new member's bill to be placed in the ballot, aiming to remove diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI, targets in the public sector. This bill would amend the Public Service Act, which Peters, and NZ First, voted for when in a coalition government with the Labour Party in 2020. DEI refers to frameworks that aim to equitably represent certain individuals and communities not represented as much as other demographics in the country. The reception for this bill varies between the parties. Senior National MP, Chris Bishop, says if the bill were to be pulled out of the ballot, that the party would consider the bill, as they believe in “meritocracy,” however, would want a “public service that is reflective of modern New Zealand”. Opposition Leader from the Labour Party, Chris Hipkins, says he would want a public sector that represents all New Zealanders. News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host, Joel, spoke to the National Secretary of the Public Service Association, Fleur Fitzsimons, about Peter's members bill, and how she believes this will impact the public sector. They started off by asking how DEI targets work regarding the public sector.

There's hopes new Cook Strait ferries will be rail-enabled. Minister for Rail Winston Peters is promising more details by the month's end. He's confirmed Hyundai - the company whose ship and infrastructure deal was dumped by the Government - is in the running for a new contract. The break fee on the original canned deal is $300 million. Maritime Union national secretary Carl Findlay says the cancellation was silly. He explained getting world-class builders to make the ships as close to the original plan would be ideal.

Kainga Ora staff say they're stressed, exhausted, and disheartened by more potential job losses, and being told to stay positive by their leaders isn't helping. RNZ has seen internal messages sent to housing agency staff, urging them to stay positive and avoid thinking like a victim during the ongoing restructuring. Fleur Fitzsimons, National Secretary of the PSA, spoke with Ingrid Hipkiss.
There's some agreement with a plea from the Public Service Minister for sector bosses to be more genuine - but questions have also been raised. Judith Collins has advised public service leaders to show respect for taxpayers in their communications - and to treat the money as their own. She asks them to be sure they're not speaking 'gobbledygook', or sounding superior. PSA Acting National Secretary, Fleur Fitzsimons, says she shares some opinions with Collins. "She talked about using plain English, the importance of free and frank advice and the value of public servants. It's a bit rich to hear some of that from a Government, though, that has cut so many jobs." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Act leader David Seymour used his state of the nation speech last week to call for a discussion on privatisation - including of the health system. Seymour told his supporters New Zealanders need to get past the "squeamishness of privatisation", and suggested the health system could be privatised, with the government funding medical insurance for individuals.

The Public Service Association has filed a claim with the Employment Relations Authority to stop the Government restricting flexible workplace practices. The PSA has argued the new directives on working from home violate its existing agreement with the Government. Fleur Fitzsimons, the acting National Secretary of the PSA, says the Government has failed to take the Gender Pay Principles into account. "One of them is that agencies normalise flexible and part-time working arrangements for all employees. So our concern, really, is that the recent Government directive has failed to take into account the commitments under the Gender Pay Principles."

The Government's ordering public servants back to the office, with a crackdown on working from home. Public Service Minister Nicola Willis has outlined new expectations for agency bosses to make flexible working an agreement, not an entitlement. She says there are performance downsides to such arrangements - and impacts on local businesses. Public Service Association national secretary Duane Leo says the Government's blaming public servants for a problem of its own making. "If the Government really cared about the Wellington economy, why did they sack thousands of public servants this year? That's one of the issues that the Wellington economy is struggling with at the moment." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Flexible work has existed for decades. Think about local hairdressers, personal trainers, or tutors working for themselves – or even the jazz musicians in the early 1900s who coined the term ‘gig economy'. But the past ten years of technology have made it more accessible – and visible – to both the people who use it and those who work in it.But what is the right balance between job autonomy, economic security and worker's rights? Is there a world where an evolving labour market provides proper workers' protections and union representation while maintaining real autonomy and flexibility?This New Statesman podcast, sponsored by Uber ahead of the three year anniversary of their groundbreaking recognition agreement with GMB – the first of its kind in the gig economy – breaks down all of this and more, to discuss the future of work in 21st-century Britain.Journalist Suze Cooper was joined by a panel of guests including Sir Stephen Timms, MP for East Ham since 1994 and Chair of Parliament's Work and Pensions Select Committee; the GMB trade union's National Secretary, Andy Prendergast and Uber's UK General Manager, Andrew Brem.Through the episode, they discussed how changes in ways of working have come to the fore in our everyday lives, with technological advances seeing less of a focus on traditional industries and more on the dynamic, flexible labour market of the 21st century. Alongside these transformations we've seen the world of work change in other ways with the rise of hybrid working environments, the gig and sharing economy, work-from-anywhere culture and digital nomads. The pandemic has sped up and baked in these developments across the UK, as people's approach to work-life balance adjusted, with workers seemingly coming to value their autonomy in much more profound ways than previous generations.Options for flexible work across various apps and platforms have enabled more choice for millions of people around their working patterns, choosing when and where they earn. More and more, it appears British workers are putting greater value on autonomy and flexibility in their lives and careers than their parents and grandparents did, balancing work around other responsibilities like caring or studying. But the question for the UK – and considered by the panel throughout this episode – is how best to deliver this flexibility and autonomy whilst not compromising on the protections and benefits workers need.

Guest: Mark RuddFrom 1965 t0 1968, I was a student activist and organizer in the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) chapter at Columbia University. I was one of the leaders of the Spring 1968 occupation of five buildings and the subsequent strike against the university's complicity with the war and its racism. At the time I was identified by the press as the symbol of student radicals.After being kicked out of Columbia, I became a full-time organizer for SDS, where I helped found the militant Weatherman faction. I was elected National Secretary of SDS in June, 1969, then helped found the "revolutionary" Weather Underground, which had as its goal "the violent overthrow of the government of the US in solidarity with the struggles of the people of the world."Wanted on federal charges of bombing and conspiracy, I was a fugitive from 1970 to 1977. All of the charges were dropped because of government illegalities. From 1980 to 2006 I was a math instructor at a community college in Albuquerque, NM, and a perennial organizer and nonviolent activist locally on issues of native American land rights, nuclear, US military interventions, Palestine solidarity, unionization, environmental justice, and war and militarization.I retired from teaching in 2007 and have been devoting myself since then to organizing and also writing and speaking on the history which I was involved in. In March, 2009, my book Underground was published.
