Labour: Commissions and expert panels for Africa

Labour will have an "Expert panel" work out the detail of the Capital Gains Tax post election.

So what else are they planning:


1/ An Inequality Summit designed to bring together the collective knowledge of experts


2/ A Commission of Enquiry into wages and collective bargaining

3/ A Royal Commission into the State Sector

4/ A full Commission of Inquiry into the conduct and accountability of Ministers

5/ Commission a working group to develop an Action Plan to end homelessness

6/ Commission a working group to report on funding options to re-establish Public Service Television Station  

7/ An expert advisory group to review the Children, Young Persons and their Families Act 1989

8/ An expert advisory group to explore ways to improve the experience of children in state care



Then there's loads more bureacracy:


9/ Conduct a thorough review of gambling law, regulation policy and provision

10/ Adopt a NZ Action Plan to Eliminate Violence against Woman and Children

11/ Establish a Ministry for Children

12/ Establish an Aged Care Commissioner 

13/ Re-instate the Minister of Disarmament and Arms Control

14/ Establish a Chied Technology Officer in government

15/ Establish an Independent Climate Commission

16/ Establish a national health register

17/ Establish Centres of Vocational Excellence

18/ Introduce a Child Poverty Reduction and Eradication Act


And that's by no means an exhaustive list.

What a waste of time and effort just dreaming it all up. With your money.

Yes but that's what Labour does best-recall the last Labour government who had in place all sorts of schemes and programmes all without any system of evaluation. They screamed when national abolished them but of course no one really noticed. Then we get TWR who has no polices at all just put-downs.
