The Bureaucracy is Booming

29 June 2005 - The Bureaucracy is Booming

Since 2002/03, the number of people employed by the New Zealand Customs
Service has increased by 61 percent.

In 2002, Customs employed 716 people. Today, it employs 1,274. Customs
did considerably better than other Government departments, whose numbers
have expanded by 'only' about 30% under the current Labour government.
This sort of thing is known in government circles as 'capability
improvement'.
