    I wouldn't expect any immediate changes with INZ though. The new Minister of Immigration (Kris Faafoi) will likely simply have a "caretaker" role, given that Parliament and Cabinet dissolves imminently with the national election only 2 months away. I'm therefore expecting that INZ will continue to kick the can down the road until the next Government is formed.

    (JandM, can you split this out into its own thread? May be worthy of discussion on its own...)

    this is interesting, not sure if it's political move because of all the mess happening within INZ?

    Unlikely it is to do with INZ and more like sexual misconduct following Falloon's dismissal / resignation. Judith Collins got tipped off from a former staffer and sent the claim to Jacinda. Must be pretty serious if he's been fired.

    Im pretty sure Kris Faafoi isnt running for the next election. He must be just there to fill the gap for few months.

    Too busy having an affair rather than sorting out the huge back-log and mess at INZ
    You couldn't even make this up

    In addition to being Immigration Minister, ILG was also Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety. He had an affair with somebody in the workplace. His sacking had nothing to do with immigration, and everything to do with being a hypocrite. His behaviour was wholly inappropriate for someone who held that portfolio.
