- Description
A public service CEO sits at a table with PM John Key and says 'You're election promise was not to cut, but to cap!' John Key who clutches a large axe smiles as he asks 'Kneecap?' Context - the Minister of State Services Tony Ryall today (26 March 2009) announced a cap on the number of core government administration staff in the Public Service and selected Crown entities - effective immediately. The cap to be applied globally - to the total full time equivalent (FTE) staff in core government administration - not to individual organizations. National campaigned on "capping" the public service during the 2008 election campaign but this afternoon (8 Feb 2011), Mr Key said his Government had reduced the number of state sector jobs by five per cent. Labour and state sector unions say those job cuts are now affecting the quality of services. Mr Key said there was more to be done to make "government bureaucracy smaller and better" and he had asked for advice on "further reforms to streamline and improve" its performance.
