RNZ is reporting on claims from frontline workers that nursing roles at Te Whatu Ora are not being replaced, and on a story that TEU are supporting its members at Taranaki's tertiary education provider, WITT, which is consulting with staff over proposed cuts to jobs and courses. In political news, Government is caving to pressure on delaying the full rollout of new literacy and numeracy tests and is unlikely to meet its public service targets. They are also responding to rising violent crime statistics and defending their policies.
