    National Public Health Service faces job cuts to emergency management, pandemic preparedness, Māori health [careful now RNZ, 5 Dec 2025]
    PSA national secretary Fleur Fitzsimons claims the move is driven by the government's "reckless" budget-cutting.

    Imho, mouldy school lunches encapsulate the CoC's idea of service to ‘everyday Kiwis‘. NAct1 is government by and for the sorted – a certain sorted someone's accountants will be on the lookout for juicy public assets to sink his CGT-free profits into.

    Kainga Ora withdrawing from public activity and into the dark.

    The Government’s social housing agency is set to cut 10 roles from its ministerial team, with staff to be given their redundancy notices in the week before Christmas.

    The team manages core democratic functions such as Ministerial inquiries, Official Information Act requests and responses to Parliamentary Questions.

    Explained here

    Kainga Ora chief executive Matt Crockett said the cuts would align the team with current work volumes and organisational priorities.

    “Our focus is on supporting people with care and respect.”

    Kainga Ora had significantly reshaped its workforce this year “to reflect our new, narrower focus on managing and providing social housing”, he said.

    We can expect it to miss out on new funds for social housing.

      The question is – Limbo, how low can you go? I name government Natafact-ackack and it seems there is no bottom to these bottom-feeders – good at name-calling as just said, but we want more for our big money than inflated poseurs and failed stand-up comedians. My favourite is Eddie Izzard now Suzy Eddie Izzard. A clever, informed, thoughtful, great, well-rounded human with esprit. Now that's the sort of act we need.
