Last one to leave NZ ….

The size of the Public Service in Australia & the UK are similar levels.

Transparency International ranks NZ's Public Service as the most trusted in the world.
NZ along with Denmark & Finland the least corrupt Public Sector in the world.

They get so much hate from the right that they should be a protected minority.

Do private companies like UK’s Serco charging the taxpayer for stuff we used to do in-house ("privatised govt services") count as a public service.

The public service has been growing like Topsy under Labour but it is highly questionable that better public services are being delivered. Nothing to do with ‘hate from the right’, it’s about Labour turning New Zealand into another Greece.

My wife works in Public Health (Te Whata Ora??) Anyways in her accounting work and she has to relay at corporate level to lower level admins, there's nothing but massive amounts of waste in the heath department. Hire more labour, admins, or people called "Team Leaders" which 90% of the time they sit in their cubicle doing nothing. Their day to day routine is do a few emails and that is their whole morning. Do a visit here and there and expect the same pay as a doctor or nurse. From her daily happenings at work, i'm more than convinced the Labour Party has done nothing but waste $$ in health care. More funding but the outcomes to the needy have not improved. Meanwhile 1000s in the health care industry have fled to Australia. Elected surgeries get deferred longer and longer. We really never had these problems under John Key's time.

Sorry, how does your accountant wife know that they sit in their cubicles & do nothing or what their day to day routine is? Asking for a friend.

She has her own office room that is upstairs in the building complex. Meaning looking out her window she is able to see all the cubicles, and who is there or not or if they're busy talking with co-workers or hanging out in the kitchen. The minimal effort productivity is typical of gov't operations but the pay is not value for the tax payer.

This is why I advocate for lower taxes in NZ because the only way to reign in the wasteful spending by our gov't is to simply take away more of IRD's tax revenue, which gives the gov't less to work with.

Hypocrite Hipkins has the nerve to show up to open a National roading project that Labour opposed.

————

‘Prime Minister Chris Hipkins will officially open the $880 million Pūhoi to Warkworth motorway this morning - a project opposed and mocked by Labour as a “holiday highway” and part of National’s “Roads of National Significance” programme.

Hipkins will be accompanied by Associate Transport Minister Kiri Allan at a ceremony to mark the completion of the new section of SH1 and the $62m Te Honohono ki Tai Matakana Link Rd that avoids Warkworth’s infamous Hill St intersection.’

Daytr pretends to be politically neutral, yet jumps on anyone who questions his Labourite narratives.

There's not a real opposition though that offers anything new.

Imagine coming up with the same agenda you've had for 40 years, and then pretending it's going to work this time.

From the ignoramus Labour peasant who wanted Ryman to go bankrupt by loading up with more debt to do a share buyback - that’s doing things the Ardern, Hipkins & Robertson way.

Borrow, squander and breed beneficiaries, parasites and losers as long as they vote Labour.

‘Imagine coming up with the same agenda you've had for 40 years, and then pretending it's going to work this time.’

You’ve just summed up the Labour party in one sentence. Hipkins opening a roading project instigated by National and opposed by Labour because the reds have nothing to show for 2 terms in government. “Let’s do this!”
