New Zealand’s National Library and Archives face drastic cuts—47 jobs, a 12% workforce reduction, slashing staff to 15% below two years ago by November 30. The Department of Internal Affairs admits this will hurt public services, while the Public Service Association warns it threatens legal record-keeping and preservation of millions of historical treasures. They reject AI as a substitute, stressing human expertise is vital for cataloging, guiding visitors, and protecting taonga—especially as elections loom, urging immediate halting of cuts to safeguard Aotearoa’s heritage.
