News reports today (21 Aug) advise that chairman of the NZ Civil aviation authority (CAA) Nigel Gould has resigned.
The CAA has recently been criticised for alleged bullying and sexual harassment, and
"was accused of misleading the public about the number of helicopter inspectors on its staff when a fatal crash killed seven people in 2015". (See Rotorheads, "NZ:Chopper crash Fox glacier", #10478102)
I am a newbie, so can not give links.
However the usual NZ media sites can provide more.

The head of CAA “resigned” the same way that I got my wife “a little bit pregnant”

pretty accurate :D
any other public servant would have been sacked rather than pushed a long time ago
