We are still in bed, still a wee bit foggy but this story on Stuff made us perk up a bit. What a pathetic piece of tosh.
It has been written as some sort of expose. The premise is that this government has hired some heavy hitters to sort out the spending and performance of some of the more troublesome Government departments.
Everyone in the public service knows they are there and what they are doing and they aren't on open ended big contracts. They are being paid a set amount with very defined performance criteria.
The bottom line is money will be saved. Improvements will be made.
Hardly a big expose. Can we have some real stories please or do we need to leave it to the likes of Whale Oil and KiwiBlog to do that???

Having worked in a large Government department in 2006 for 5 weeks (as a contractor) a simple place to cut costs would be to get rid of all the contractors on huge hourly rates. Two of us contractors spent half of the day doing nothing and filling in the rest of our down time supporting Thorndon cafes. It might have changed since then, but it was a shocker. Hopefully all the catering has been cut back too. I have never seen so many people sitting in meeting rooms gorging themselves. No wonder there were so many extremely large arses wobbling around that area.
