As Craig Renney revealed to a shocked Dr Gary Payinda, Te Whatu Ora underspent its wages budget by $500m which has been signed off by Willis & returned to general coffers. Let that sink in. The money was there, but they deliberately underspent. On orders?

“Other small, successful democracies have far fewer ministries&ministers in central govt than in NZ, with far more power & resource retained by local communities. Governance is close to the grassroots, & the principles of localism & subsidiarity allow for a high degree of local decision-making.”

Dear NZ Labour,
Everyone hates National right now, and a big part of that is their coalition with ACT and NZF, so I'd suggest you get very on board with the Greens and hope that you don't need to touch Seymour or Peters with the shitty end of a very long stick.

For a government that keeps talking about democracy they are really desperate to remove representation and accountability.
There are 39,400 people employed in local government and if we conservatively apportion these out equally there will be 3000-4000 losing jobs, incomes and livelihoods.
