Most Agree That Public Service Needs A Trim

An interesting poll on the Dominion Post website, with an interesting result, particularly given that Wellington is the home to the public service:

Is the public sector bloated?

Yes, the number of civil servants should be chopped (227 votes, 47.3%)

Some departments could be trimmed, others are fine (177 votes, 36.9%)

No, the numbers are right for the work they do (76 votes, 15.8%)
