Some of the harshest cuts are for MBIE.

Yeah sure let's not have proper forecasting on the economy, research on where lucrative industries are, small business help etc.

So dumb and ideological. I think we'll know what happens when they start tearing into the bio-security budget.

Town planning, public works admin, accreditation of qualifications “bureaucracy” should be trimmed too. Anyone for bridge and building failures?

My tax bill is next to nothing - aren't tax-free capital gains such wonderful things?

At least you aren’t paying for the bloated bureaucracy

By “tax bill” do you mean your terminal tax? Or is it the total of Provisional tax, PIE tax, RWT, Imputation credit, PAYE as well as Terminal?

Take a look at what is happening at Ruapehu. And then think about whether we want MBIE selecting horses to back.

Howls of protests about job cuts at Ministry of Pacific Affairs.

Why don’t they start by articulating what the 350% (yes, 350% - it was a Hiring Orgy) increase in staff (from 34 in 2017 to 156) had achieved for the Pacific communities? Be specific.

Then, explain what kind of mindset exists at the ministry to spend $40,000 to farewell its CEO?

Im really disappointed in these job cuts. They should not be happening. The whole Ministry should be shut down. So should a few other Ministries such as Sports, Women, , Digitising Government, Ethnic Communities, Disability Issues, Racing and no doubt many more. We should have a maximum of 12-14 Ministers and all inside Cabinet. Not the current 20. The whole system is a joke

Let's also cut back on mine safety.

Send Brooke van Velden down a mine to see what it's like.
She might call for a helicopter rescue after breaking a nail though.

Suppose many now regretting elevating Luxon to lead Nats and hence become PM

He’s no leader, let alone a politician or statesman

NZ is stuffed with him in charge …..shame as the country needs a strong leader to move forward

I suspect ministries taylored for the majority would see the needs of minorities more likely to be ignored. Do you think that a one approach fits all will make the most harmonious society? Do you think there may be some friction until we become a melting pot nation of cookie-cutter cloned people with identical needs?

In the absence of radical reforms, under bi-partisan high immigration policies, Anglo-Celtic males may well be a minority with needs diverged from the rest of the country with justification for their own ministry….

Too late for NZ.

Does not matter who is in charge - NZ is already completely stuffed after 6 years of divisive, totally inept and clueless government. The country is a breeding ground for ever more parasites, losers and beneficiaries.

The young, intelligent and skilled with drive and ambition who care about a real future fortunately have Australia to go to and NZ will see hundreds of thousands of them continue to migrate there in the years ahead.

Watch as our best doctors, nurses, police personnel, graduates and hard working professionals leave NZ to the wasteland of gloom and despondency it is rapidly descending into. And rejoice!

And good luck to them - they go with the best wishes from those of us who care about the future for them and their families.
