The national body have confirmed they're set to hand investors Anna Mowbray and Ali Williams the licence for a new league from 2027 and beyond.

While team ownership, player contracts, scheduling and broadcasting are yet to be finalised, the initial agreement has Wootton eager for next steps.

Labour says MBIE's chief executive should lose his job after revelations he misled a Parliament committee.

Officials, including CEO Nic Blakely, suggested at a hearing this year a biometrics upgrade project was continuing after it had been scrapped.

A Privileges Committee report's labelled that misleading - and Blakely's offer to resign was declined.

Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says Twyford has a point about this - given that the public needs to trust politicians.
