It would be very good to know what Labour's (@chrishipkins.bsky.social) & Greens' (Chloe Swarbrick) opinions are. What safeguards are going to be put in place to protect taonga in Te Papa collns & the vital work Te Papa scientists do to minimise the impact of the current biodiversity crisis? 5/5

Te Papa & @auchmill.bsky.social need to be transparent & open with public discussion, not secretive like the last CEO. What is Minister Goldsmith's role in this? The govt is not supporting core govt services, & Te Papa is a core govt service. What is the Te Papa board role in this? 4/5

If curators end up having to manage people, there will be less time for vital research, which will help stop the current biodiversity crisis we are in, & less time to look after taonga (treasures) in the collections 3/5

Phil Edgar is a fantastic, kind, & stable manager, & a big supporter/advocate of nat hist. All 4 heads of collns will compete for the same job. Whomever gets it will be stretched too thin & have to look after lots of people, leading to more staff losses or management put onto curators 2/5
