Immigration officials 'deliberately withheld' information on failed technology…

Classic NZ govt IT project - a total clusterfuck. Wonder how much this one cost us?

she's just grandstanding. Labour was in power when this started, now National gets to play the victim.

Kai Thompson2026-06-16T00:19:14.000Z

As someone who works in tech, this is just embarrassing. 'Creative accounting' is code for 'we fucked up and hid it'.

RNZ2026-06-16T00:31:14.000Z

FFS. Taxpayer money down the drain while the rest of us struggle with cost of living. These clowns should be sacked. Not just the officials, the ministers who signed off on it too.

Kai Thompson2026-06-16T00:48:14.000Z

Exactly. But the real question is who got the contract? Knowing our govt, some mate of a mate.

lol 'deliberately withheld' - they knew they'd get caught eventually. What a joke.

Can someone explain to me why we keep wasting money on tech upgrades that never work? Just use paper forms for all I care.

Eva Anderson2026-06-16T01:51:14.000Z

😂 paper forms would crash the system from weight alone. Nah but seriously, someone needs to go to jail for this level of waste.

At least the minister is actually calling it out. About time someone held them accountable.

Mason Young2026-06-16T01:44:14.000Z

the minister was literally in cabinet when this happened. She's only pissed cause she got caught out.

Sam North2026-06-16T01:43:14.000Z

Lunch break reading this and I'm already fuming. My mate works in immigration and says their systems are held together with rubber bands.

Quinn Murphy2026-06-16T02:26:14.000Z

get stuffed, at least she's doing something now. Not just sweeping it under the rug like Labour did.
