Good decision, they listened as part of democracy and are moving on. They were hardly going to use this money to keep people in Govt jobs, they are streamlining the Government Service. As for voting them out, to replace them with what? There is nothing. Certainly not Goff who has no original ideas of his own.
This is a game of smoke and mirrors. The most ridiculous extreme ideas were given the boot but the devil is in the detail. Now Gerry Brownlee will also get a say on conservation and and marine reserves and the weathy mining industry gets more massive subsidies to find them minerals and metals on the West Coast and Northland.The outcome isn't compromise when you have an idiotic concept to start with, it is deceptive spin. We have been manipulated.
Millions spent again for govt mining proposals !!! Monies that could have been used to pay those they laid off from govt jobs!!! This govt obviously knows no economics of recession that it should spend to increase the velocity of monies to get the country economy going!!! And millions more to go after that poor Hubbard couple !!! People must vote this bunch of baboons out of govt and our lives !!!
