Labour spent $1.24 billion on consultants and contractors in the year to June 2022.

But wait, there's more:

And maybe more:

. . . National public service spokesman Simeon Brown has compiled information from their reports to select committees and says the total bill for the last financial year was more like $1.7 billion. . .

There is a place for contractors and consultants but $1.24 billion plus is an eye watering sum.

It should be easy for National to find the $400 million in savings it would spend on its FamilyBoost policy.

It shouldn't be hard to find even more for high priorities including education, health and infrastructure by cutting the wasteful spending this government specialises in.
