Kiwimade the cuts were going to happen which ever party won - Grant Robertson announced he was going to cut 4 billion out of state service spending and Andrew Little said the restructuring of the DHB woukd result in 600 lost jobs .It interesting from July to the election after Robertson announced the impending cuts 3000 extra state servants were hired between July and the election .Also find it interesting how many job losses are vacancies .I saw last night the 5 managers of the refugee department of OT are going to moved on and their roles taken up by OT - the carryon that happened next door when the $1200 a week rental was being used as a refugee Air B&B for young refugees is a perfect example of multi managers sitting in offices making poor decisions that local volunteers are left to deal with .The tax payers rented that house for 5 years at $1200 a week - rent in our area for a two bedroom house would be $600 tops - it was occupied according to the landlord 30% of the time - that’s waste and those managers need to go
Same with the school lunches - the school were I used to volunteer the contractor brought in frozen meals for the week on a Sunday cost $20 each meal - frozen salad sandwiches - cold spaghetti - wrap with shredded cabbage only - there is a polytechnic 15 mins away with a cooking course for unemployed kids trying to get into hospitality.Obviously they didn’t poll any retailers- it is fantastic that police are back responding to retail crime -facial recognition picked up a repeat offender had entered the store - he had a big coat on with tubes stitched to the inner - he had 4 expensive cut cube rolls of scotch fillet $428 - very surprised when the police were waiting in the car park - again more meat wasted - not even allowed to give it to the SPCA as there is a risk he could have injected it with something .The political editor on TV1 claimed the poll was going to cause tumult the next day in Parliament the only thing tumultuous we have seen is Julian Genter acting like an idiot - polls are very subjective - the Roy Morgan poll the next day showed a hugely different result .I would rather there be more money to spend on kids than pot plants and slushy flavours - 300k to clean the machines and buy syrup - The Warehouse have it really cheap surely the prison officers can buy their own bet the govt aren’t buying it cheap
