Today, Stuff led with a headline claiming that forcing public servants to return to the office was “the number one” fix for Wellington’s ‘icy’ economy.
If we consider how most rich right wingers get their wealth, either by inheritance or by screwing the system in business, then it is of little surprise that they have such disdain for the rest of us.
In my 55 years of work, I once saw an altruistic boss. He ran his motor factors as a form of cooperative and his staff were loyal to a fault. After he died too young, his son enlisted an ‘advisor’ from a large accounting firm. Within 5 years all the loyal staff were gone and the business sold. The son moved to Spain…..
This cruel, cynical government hates none supporters. The damage will run deep for many years.
There is a real bullying at play but it's not un-ironic that I'd bet many of their supporters have little money too. But as long as someone else is getting punished, it seems OK to too many.
It was nice to meet an altruisitc boss - I miss values like that Tony and hope there are people out there who recognise its value too.
"So why?" you ask. Maybe because the Government is draining what American politicians call the swamp. Get rid of Labour Party appointees and replace them with hard working people like us 😜
Destroying the public service can’t be an accident, their goal is to have nothing working so that they can privatise anything that might produce a cashflow for their mates. If ‘bottom feeders’ have their lives ruined so be it, parallels with Israeli precision attacks that ONLY kill lots of innocents…
Dogma over peoples lives. I think this is the plan, cut direct costs and obfuscate responsibility to ministry CEO’s to come up with diamonds from the pressure. That is all they have.
A deodorant salesman can't admit it just masks the stink for a while...
What I try to reconcile is the adulation he receives from his voters and so the support and alternate world view is real.
Agree what they are doing stinks, but it's a pity we don't share the same noses anymore, Robin.

Nicola living out her girlhood dream of being room monitor and teacher's pet
Just a few more steps along the inexorable path to serfdom.
Think back to early England and its landed gentry and you'll see their end goal.

Education is on its knees.
Health is on its knees.
Police are heading to a fiscal cliff.
But who gets the money? We already know.
Charter schools will be able to boast about better performance under little to no transparency and fight for more money again next time.
Healthcare will be gradually privatized.
Prison populations will grow and the private builders of prison services will make bank.
And Luxon and Willis will tell the story (already written) of a glowing performance under very trying times.
Money is the new God!
