Peter Williams: IS THERE NO END TO THE WASTE?
Mr Tully is pretty frank. He wrote: “To be transparent, the initial view shows that we do not have sufficient funding to cover our basic running costs.”
So essentially DOC can’t get enough money to operate. They also have $300 million worth of deferred maintenance that needs doing.
But despite this dire financial situation, the department is now prepared to pay staff a bonus of up to $3500 a person if they become proficient in Māori language skills. Yet the skills that DOC staff might pick up through becoming proficient in te reo are completely unrelated to their job.
In other words they can do their job just fine without learning Maori language. Their HR boss – these days called the Chief People Officer – says that “DOC have no positions that require te reo Maori for the practical purpose of communicating in the course of work.”
So why, when you are in deep financial schtuck, do you go and spend money like this.?
