Labour wants some civil servants to shift to Lower Hutt
Remutaka MP and State Services Minister Chris Hipkins would like to see some civil servants move to Lower Hutt.
Hipkins says hubs outside Wellington would take pressure off existing offices in Wellington. Wellington’s public sector employs about 27,000, while there are about 37,000 in the private sector. A Cabinet paper tabled last year revealed the State Services Commission wanted to “reduce the footprint” of government workers in the Wellington and Auckland regions, and move agencies elsewhere when possible.

What is first white then red and the plumper it gets the more the old lady likes it?
