工党国家机构事务发言人克里斯•希普金斯指出：自2008年以来，政府部门在聘顾问和外包合同上的巨幅花销达到9.105亿纽元，而在同样一大批机构里花的裁员费就有1.141亿纽元。
这对于国家党声称他们是把资源从后勤部门转移到一线服务无异是一个莫大的讽刺。
约翰基对国人承诺说国家党只会对公共服务部门的员工人数封顶，而不是裁员。他已经自毁诺言，而新西兰纳税人却要为此买单。
这个政府的顾问文化没有替纳税人省钱，长远来看反尔将让纳税人损失更多。
我国的公共服务领域已经失去了大批宝贵的专家与经验人士，政府却简单地拿外聘顾问来填补空白。
如此短视的思路实在令人费解。我们必须重视并大力投入于知识系统化的建设才是正道。
新西兰纳税人有权得到高质高效的公共服务。公共服务领域的改革需要将焦点放在怎样提供服务，而不是一心想着怎么才能够任意裁员。（霍建强议员办公室供稿）
Chris HIPKINS State Services Spokesperson 11 September 2012 MEDIA STATEMENT Consultancy culture costs Kiwis more
Figures released today by Labour show National’s endless state sector shuffling is costing Kiwis hundreds of millions of dollars, says Labour’s State Services spokesperson Chris Hipkins.
Since 2008, 10 Government departments spent a whopping $910.5m on consultants and contractors, while $114.1m was spent laying off staff in many of the same agencies.
“This makes a mockery of National’s claim it’s moving resources from the back office to the frontline,” Chris Hipkins said.
“John Key promised New Zealanders that National would cap, but not cut, the number of staff working in the public service. He’s broken that promise, and Kiwi taxpayers are footing the bill for it.
“The Government’s consultancy culture isn’t saving the taxpayer money and will result in a loss of capability in the long term.
“The public service has already lost a huge amount of valuable expertise and experience and is simply plugging the gap by hiring consultants.
“This is short-term thinking and it doesn’t make sense. We must invest in and value institutional knowledge.
“New Zealand taxpayers are entitled to receive highly responsive, accessible, quality public services. Public sector reform needs to focus on how we deliver that, not on how we can arbitrarily cut staff numbers,” Chris Hipkins said.
