Equally pleasing is the huge drop off in spending on contractors and consultants. This has dropped from $2.16 billion two years ago to $1.25b last year, which is a huge 42% reduction. That is $1 billion a year freed up for frontline services.

More news like this please! When the private sector is bigger than the government this country might be saved
We’ve got a long way to go still
The Public sector workforce in 2017 was 47,000.
Why is Nicola Willis Trumpeting the sale of chorus for $1b whilst she's running a $12b deficit?
Nicola's dad's mates are breaking out the tax payer funded champagne. They're about to be gifted another kiwi battler robbing monopoly whilst Nicola protects their other cartels.
No doubt they will use some of our money to continue Farrar's populace distracting Maori bashing...
Suggestion to anon 8-19. Get rid of the big chip on your shoulder. It is not maori bashing. It is revealing the truth about treaty grifting. If the cap fits ?
The chip will be removed from my shoulder along with the rod from kiwi battlers backs, when luxon fulfill his promise to get the cost of living down.
Step 1. Replace Nicole ardern oops Willis. She's fooling Noone.
And a message for bloggers.... the d Farrar promoted Maori bashing us there to distract you from the great nz big business price collusion rip off.
Don't be fooled.
