Let’s keep New Zealand working
A challenge from the PSA to the incoming government
One thing is clear today – New Zealanders don’t want their tax dollars going to overseas companies, private profits or to expensive consultants.
We all want quality public services.
What does that mean?
Putting people before profit
Making our country a fairer, more equal society
Services that are there when they’re needed, especially in times of crisis.
That’s what people want. It’s how this country works.
This is not the time to make more drastic cuts or to privatise our services.
Our public services can be even better. But that requires a genuine
commitment by the incoming government to support and build quality
public services.
It’s a commitment to our families, our communities, our businesses, our future.
Here’s our commitment. We have ideas for ways to build even better
high-quality public services. We’re up to the challenge and we hope for
everyone’s sake that the incoming government is too.
Like all New Zealanders we urge them to keep New Zealand working.
