#Watching the TV3 election debate with leaders from TPM, Greens, Winston First and ACT:

It annoys me that the news media elevated the leaders of the legacy parties to their own private Chrisfest, instead of having a leaders debate that included these 4. That would have been a much more robust and insightful debate than listening to two sheets of human wallpaper dribble talking points at each other.

> then every one of the fired public servants will be replaced by a contractor
Good point. I have no problem with public services contracting specialists whose skills are needed for one-off projects. But not when contracts are being tendered over and over again for jobs that require the same skillset.
Creating a permanent position is cheaper for the public in the long run. It also provides job security for someone the public service clearly needs on staff.
