The bureaucrats mindset is to with-hold assistance from the Department or Ministry to, in theory, reduce expenditure. The truth is they are kicking problems down the road to other sectors and will spend more on appeals and with-holding assistance than will be saved.<br />This is the culture that the right put in place to demonstrate that government cannot be the solution, to the extent that frustration of process becomes the norm.<br />In the first term, the Labour led government showed no desire to shake up and reform, instead, there was a clear pattern of Ministers captured by the Ministry.<br />The people of NZ have demanded the kinder, more supportive Government. That cannot be destroyed by the peoples first contact with Government agencies. The Barronnoreply@blogger.com
