Sir Brian Roche: Public Service Commissioner on the New Zealand Initiative calling for Govt departments to be culled

The Public Service Commissioner says he doesn't want to see the public service slashed and burnt. 

Earlier this week, the New Zealand Initiative called for a culling of our 43 Government departments to just 20. 

Sir Brian Roche says everything's on the table - but the changes need to be measured. 

"The Initiative is one world view, I think these things have to evolve. I don't look at this being a big bang, we don't want to go through big slash/burn downsizings, those things are debilitating and I don't see those being required at this point."
