Australia's move to set up AI office 'kick up the bum' for New Zealand leaders…

lol Aus gets an AI office and we get another working group that'll 'report back' in 2026... which is now. classic NZ leadership 🤡

yeah nah u right, they'll just hire some consultants for $500k and produce a PDF

Actually this is a good wake-up call. We can't keep relying on dairy and tourism while the world races ahead on AI.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-16T04:26:15.000Z

fair point, but better than doing absolutely nothing

Chris Bishop will probably announce a committee to look into forming a task force by 2028. Embarrassing.

Eva Anderson2026-07-16T04:36:15.000Z

what a load of shit. we've got no plan, no vision, just vibes.

Jordan Bell2026-07-16T05:21:15.000Z

lol imagine if they did that, would be peak NZ

Ben Sullivan2026-07-16T05:29:15.000Z

Genuinely curious though, what would an AI office even do? Just another public sector job scheme?

RNZ2026-07-16T06:00:15.000Z

probably just another box ticking exercise tbh

RNZ2026-07-16T05:40:15.000Z

Mate they can't even fix the roads or health system and u want them to regulate AI? ffs
