BUREAUCRACY
During every election year prospective politicians and those already bursting their boilers to be re-elected promise us that they will reduce bureaucracy, but when they get elected bureaucracy expands in all directions.
Our lives are now totally controlled by at least 750,000 bureaucrats – made up from the ever increasing numbers employed in government departments, those employed by Regional councils, District councils, City councils, government ‘advisory’ boards, such as Conservation Boards, etc, etc., but few elected to these ‘advisory boards’ have any idea what such boards actually do!
On top of this we have an ever increasing number of quango’s (currently 3,000 of them, ‘employing’ 200,000 people), including Landcare, Transport, Education Dept, NZQA, NZ Fish & Game Council, Health & Safety, etc., a multitude of race-relation boards, a multitude of ad infinitum Government financed quango’s; with at least 95% of these groups making no contribution whatsoever to the welfare of those that produce 100% of the country’s income, and no contribution at all to the New Zealand environment; in fact our wetlands and rivers are now so polluted they will never recover!
So, out of 4.700,000 permanent residents less than 2,000,000 are actually employed, but when we extract 130 members of Parliament, then the 750,000 that government employees, old-age pensioners (500,000) then the 200,000 non-productive IT workers, advisers, consultants and so on, 10,000 (+) in jail, 170,000 unemployed, etc., etc., we have less than 400,000 actually working - and by the time we deducted those employed in the service industries we have less than 150,000 people generating the country’s income!
These income producers are - farmers, the wine industry, the highly successful movie industry, the highly successful tourism industry and highly successful engineering companies that export 90% of their products.
Every Government over the last 30-years have informed us that they will stop the massive donations going to IWI, but these donations are now at a level where IWI have now received over $2 billion NZ Dollars from the NZ public; so there’s little wonder that New Zealand is heading for bankruptcy!
And then there was John Key’s donation of public funds to the Clinton Foundation of $7 million, with another $7 million to follow!
