Jan Tinetti: Former Minister for Women and Child Poverty Reduction on David Seymour's call to cull ministries

  • Summary

  • David Seymour is calling for culling of the government.

    He’s floated a policy that would reduce the number of ministers and government departments, calling into question the necessity of some.

    Racing, Hunting and Fishing, Hospitality, Space, and Child Poverty Reduction were a few he named.

    Jan Tinetti is the former Minister for Women and Child Poverty Reduction, and she told Heather du Plessis-Allan the reason these ministries exist is to take a specialised look at issues.

    She says that while they are often covered under other portfolios, they would simplify the issues far too much, and we wouldn’t get anywhere in solving them.
