Good news from IRD

From stuff.co.nz I find out,

Inland Revenue has confirmed it is seeking to cut as many as 250 jobs through voluntary redundancies.

Inland Revenue Commissioner Robert Russell said economic pressures were "real and growing" and the department was having to tighten its belt in the current downturn like many other businesses and organisations.

A few less bureaucrats to put their hands in our pockets. But only a few less, the loss of 250 jobs represents a 4 per cent cut in staff numbers. Which means there are still around 6000 too many people at the IRD.
