I retired from personal blogging in July 2008.

Had a fun day at Otago University today with the International MBA program and Masters of Entrepreneurship classes. It’s the 2nd year I’ve been invited down and I enjoyed meeting the people down there.

I was relieved when I got back online to see that David Cunliffe was still looking after ICT.  Phew! It would have been really frustrating for the industry to start building the sort of relationship we have with DC over again.

He also got Health.  It would have been great if he got Education as shortage of talent is a big issue for ICT and those portfolio’s would have gone great together - but at least we didn’t loose him.

    Absolutely agreed. I heard one of his speeches in the pre-unbundling days, he really seems to know what he’s doing.
