Lower Taxes, Less Waste,
More Accountability

Championing Value For Money From Every Tax Dollar

Petition: Wipe out the woke workshops

PPPointless workshops for bureaucrats are costing the taxpayer millions, and Government departments can't wait to chuck your money at their organisers working for organisations no one has ever heard of.

Kiwi taxpayers get nothing out of bureaucrats sitting around "questioning the algorithms of whiteness that discipline the world." That money should be spent on delivering core government services, not frittered away to prop up a bizarre workshop industry which could only survive in Wellington.

It's time to stop the nonsense, and get public servants sat back at their desks. Sign the petition and tell them you won't pay any more for them to sit around for hours not doing their jobs. 

“I call on Government departments including MBIE, StatsNZ, and the Ministry of Justice to stop wasting taxpayers' money on pointless workshops and get back to focussing on delivering core services."
