New Zealand's Department of Internal Affairs lays off 17 senior staff, retains 2,700 full-time employees.

New Zealand's Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) has laid off 17 senior staff members, reducing their average salary of $152,000. The Taxpayers' Union views this as a positive step but highlights that the DIA has added 477 bureaucrats over the past five years. They argue that further cuts are necessary to address the department's bloated workforce, which still comprises approximately 2,700 full-time employees.
