Not only does New Zealand have a bureaucracy the size of which would be more appropriate for a country with ten times the population, it is also chronically inefficient.
To illustrate: I've got a child now enrolling at University and going through the student loan rigmarole. Well I never, we had no such thing in my day you see, so I'm out of touch. Well, the story behind getting through the system is circuitous and ridiculous all at the same time. Forms upon forms, and then the student loan people send erroneous information. Ring the call centre and they give advice that is plain wrong, how do I know this? They call back sometimes to correct the wrong stuff they've just been spouting.
If there is an outfit that needs a firm stick shoved up their arse, then it's StudyLink or whatever they call themselves.
National are in power. They were meant to sort this shit out. Did they? Not on your life, what we got was Labour Not Very Lite. National used to be the less socialist party, now they're the trying to be more socialist than the socialists party.
