769714 2009-04-30 07:32:00 Transport Minister Steven Joyce says he is “not at all impressed” with the $8.5 million cost for the Civil Aviation Authority to move from its current Petone location to a new, multi-storied building in downtown Wellington.

!!:eek:

I'll move them for $1 million!


How do they justify that? It's only across town!

769715 2009-04-30 07:33:00 More importantly, why are they moving in the first place? somebody (208)
769716 2009-04-30 07:50:00 I smell the stench of corruption.....as with so many government activities..... qazwsxokmijn (102)
769717 2009-04-30 08:01:00 Corruption? You flatter them. It's just the ineptitude so deeply ingrained in the system since the days of the blue nurse.

It takes more than just prunes to get that lot moving.

769718 2009-04-30 08:15:00 Corruption in NZ government I doubt it, only 1 person a man called Field has ever been charged for corruption while in power. This place aint Senegal or Indonesia. if you know of any corruption in the public service ring the police right now.
Even the last labor government wasn't corrupt just incompetent.
I guess most of the 8.5 mill would be the setup costs especially computer systems in the new office.
As a PPL pilot I have had dealings with the CAA and I thought they were quite frugal with taxpayers dosh. Everything is userpays they dont give out much free stuff.
Makes no sense being stuck out in the boondocks away from the big ratus in Wellington city.

769720 2009-04-30 08:58:00 Don't assign to malice what can be attributed to incompetence as R2x1 says. zqwerty (97)
769721 2009-04-30 09:06:00 So where does the excess go? ::confused: qazwsxokmijn (102)
769722 2009-04-30 09:24:00 It is just a ploy to help the building industry, furniture removers & a landlord. PJ :2cents::lol: Poppa John (284)
769723 2009-04-30 20:36:00 Petone to Wellington is what 10kms? But what gets me is that it is another of Labour's inept decisions and a legacy they have hung around the NZ taxpayers neck.

What I cannot understand is why Cullen was given ANY job by National let alone one with NZ POST! I would have sent the commie pommie back to jolly old England, maybe then he could have been an adviser to the pommie parliment.
