It’s such a drag when you travel to another city for research and can only do 4 hours a day - doubles cost of accommodation (been hit by this lately) 😩

Yeah, definitely. Spend a week in Auckland and you get 20 hours max of research. Some of us pointed this out at the time the cuts were first proposed and initially they changed it to open 8 hours for 3 days instead but then went back to 4-hour days with no explanation.
