they’d be looking at something like this:
There are something like 80 government and semi-government departments and agencies. Halve this number and sack the employees. Cut the operating budgets of the remainder by 30%.
No sacked employee is to be moved to another government department.
Axe the Resource Management Act.
Restrict councils to managing sewage, water supplies and garbage collection and disposal. If building consents and inspections are necessary, then these are to be managed by regional agencies and consents must be granted or denied within 30 days or they will be presumed to have been granted. The fees will not exceed 1% of the building’s cost.
Amalgamate the three arms of the armed forces and eliminate duplication of functions. Eliminate the “blue water” component of the Navy. Cut back severely on the number of senior brass.
Arm the police (and improve their weapons training) and eliminate any programs aimed at recruitment of minorities and women.
End all discrimination based on race.
Ditch all references to the Treaty of Waitangi and all race-based settlements and programs.
End the practice of printing documents and signage in Maori as well as English.
End the Working For Families welfare program.
Dole recipients must report fortnightly to their nearest dole office and show written, verifiable evidence of their efforts to find work. Three strikes, no more dole money and vouchers for food only.
State tenants who have been in their houses for more than five years to be evicted.
People who are subjected to “home invasion” type robberies may respond with whatever force they deem necessary. There will be no requirement for them to retreat in the face of aggression.
Gang members and anybody on the dole for more than twelve months will be subject to audit by Inland Revenue.
It’d be a start…anything less is fiddling while Rome burns.
