Judith Collins: Public Service Minister on her new bill set to cut diversity requirements for the sector
Manage episode 482407920 series 2098282
The Public Service Minister has confirmed she's committed to cutting public service diversity requirements.
Minister Judith Collins is looking to bring a draft bill to Cabinet in July, to remove diversity requirements when hiring chief executives.
It would also remove their responsibilities to promote diversity.
Collins says these requirements are holding the public service back - and she's looking to ensure the right people are hired for the job.
"We're also hearing from public servants that they like to think that they are employed on merit, not based on little boxes that have been ticked."
