Labour Spends $1.2 Billion on Consultants and Contractors
October 21, 2022
“Labour is addicted to spending and just can’t help itself,” Mr Brown says.
“Labour promised in 2018 to reduce reliance on contractors and consultants, yet spending on them has increased, while the number of core public service bureaucrats also stays at record highs.
“As well as big spending on contractors, the number of public servants on large salaries continues to swell.
“According to the Public Service Commission, public service staff earning more than $100,000 grew by 1,300 to 19,600, up from 18,300 a year ago.
