  "textContent": "**This is edition 2026/113 of the _Ten@10_ newsletter.**\n\nHi all,\n\nThis is the Ten@10, where I collate and summarise ten news items you generally won't see in the mainstream media.\n\nEnjoy!\n\n* * *\n\n## 1. Immigration Biometric Project Exposed\n\n _John McLean_\n\n  * 🛂 Immigration Minister Erica Stanford accused MBIE of repeatedly and deliberately misleading her about a $38 million biometric IT project at Immigration New Zealand.\n  * 💸 The project was abandoned after less than ten years, achieving nothing despite NEC having delivered equivalent systems for the US, Japan and Singapore.\n  * 📄 A review by Greg James was handed to MBIE on 1 April 2026 but not passed to Stanford until 12 June, with officials blaming a “wrong call” and then the “fuel crisis.”\n  * 🎙️ On Newstalk ZB, Public Service Commissioner Sir Brian Roche claimed no culpable individuals remained in the public service and insisted the failure was unique.\n  * 🛡️ Roche has now appointed Michael Heron KC to lead an inquiry likely to drag past the election, prompting accusations of a whitewash timed to let the scandal fade.\n  * 📝 Former MBIE CEO Carolyn Tremain, who covered most of the project period, wrote to Stanford claiming a junior staffer was responsible for false assurances about independent quality reviews.\n  * 🔥 Winston Peters is not buying it: he says he has “no doubt” Immigration NZ officials deliberately misled the Government and wants the “fibbers jailed.”\n  * 🚨 Former Immigration NZ head Alison McDonald and current MBIE CEO Nick Blakeley appeared before a select committee in March without disclosing the project had been axed in November 2025.\n  * ⚖️ McLean invokes Judge Peter Mahon’s “orchestrated litany of lies” to describe the pattern of omissions and misleading statements.\n  * 🏛️ The affair is framed as evidence that public servants have become insulated from democratic accountability and need radical reform.\n\n\n\nRead More\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
