[QUOTE="Maggie, post: 12366, member: 71"] Unfortunately when you have other people spending other peoples' money there will always be major wastage, invariably ending in increased costs. We see it time and time again with local bodies and government departments. The reality is that these people are the employees of NZ, and it is the people of NZ who get taxed in a multitude of ways that pay their salaries. Unfortunately NZers are like sheep, they appear to easily roll over, pay, get stressed and complain to their mates. Many whom would like to complain are scared of being targeted or ostracised. Interesting article on last night's news about freedom of speech and government PC control. Then when you do send in a written query or complaint, it is sent from one official, then to another and so on. No one official seems to be able to make a decision by themselves. I guess that's one way to say that you are busy in your job, and as an official it's also a way of ensuring that you will never be held individually responsible for any decision, and you will be able to stay on the gravy train. Recently I challenged a decision, and the replies certainly did not come back in the stated official time frames, and the decision was not in my favour. There seems to be one law for beekeepers, and another for officials. I was fairly certain I was right, but it transpired in the end, after me wasting time with multiple emails that this official website was out of date, therefore I was incorrect, and I was politely thanked for bringing it to the Chair's attention. Seriously! If there's one thing that should be correct it should be an official website of a well funded outfit. We are heading for major food shortages, and assistance to food producers in the primary sector with a supportive industry community should be government priority. If anyone wants to support Chris, they need to contact him ASAP, because submission date closure is 24 April.
