The national government have got rid of the dorky little rubbish containers that sit on their desks at parliament.
They are without a doubt the silliest idea ever - introduced in an effort to make Public Servants go green . What they did do was harbour germ fests. If you had a cold , manky tissues piled up forcing people next door to you contact you by email so they didn't have to enter your 2m square patch of a govt cube cube farm and risk Ebola.
Rubbish bins under desks were much more healthy.
And the big recycle bins were still used. So if its good enough for our Ministers to get on the floor rubbish bins can we get our bins back too? And as a matter of interest where did the old ones go? Can we recycle them?
Nick Smith puts the case nicely.
Environment Minister Nick Smith called the "puny" desk bins impractical, ridiculous and a "cute gimmick" that achieved little.
"We want to see people taking a good, practical approach to recycling, not the over the top, nanny-state that was all-pervasive within the Beehive," he told the Herald on Sunday.
"I've heard horror stories of senior bureaucrats earning over $100,000 a year sitting around for an hour getting lessons on how to separate their rubbish."

I would have just chucked all my rubbish in the corner. The cleaners can sort this nonsense out.
First thing I do when I get a new office is get a large fuck off rubbish bin regardless of the size of the one I am given.
Oh...and a shredder ;)
