| 468654 | 2006-07-06 23:19:00 | Guys, for a long time now the police have simply been the “Uniformed Branch of the IRD”. They couldn’t track a bleeding elephant through snow, as evidenced by the lack of progress in the Kahui twins murder. :( |

| 468656 | 2006-07-08 13:03:00 | Managements "need" productivity measurements. They have to be countable things. They need to have no relationship with the real function of an organisation, but if they can be counted (or costed) they will be. The system can collapse, but it's got wonderful management if all the paper looks good. any failures are obviously the fault of the lower levels (or the customers). This is what has caused the sad state of all the Public Services we used to have. They've got lots of managers, all brought up in the management schools. The people who do the work spend so much time on paperwork to feed managers that they have little time to do the work. Graham - we might have fun disagreeing from time to time but on this occasion you have it 100% right. Quite what the answer is I do not know. Effectiveness of policing, teaching, road-mending, whatever, needs to be assessed somehow. But I certainly don't think the current models work. |

| 468658 | 2006-07-09 06:14:00 | Hi Jenae. Similar story. Years ago we lived in Chch and took the occasional Chinese Malaysian student as a boarder. On one occasion one of them stuck a run of so-called racing stripes the length of his Mini, front bumper to back over the bonnet and roof. He got stopped almost every day going to varsity. He took the stripes off and never got stopped again. Curious. | Scouse (83) | ||
