The Irony of Labour Bureaucracy

This soliloquy explores the irony and absurdity of peak Labour bureaucracy by examining how much taxpayer money is wasted on projects like building a railway that does not exist.

Ah, the irony of peak Labour bureaucracy! A well-paid Treaty job in Wellington to talk to iwi in Auckland, For a railway that doesn’t exist. The public purse doth suffer for such bureaucratic blunders. What will be the cost of this costly folly? How many lives must be changed and rearranged? All for naught, but the grandeur of government bureaucracy. Ah, what is this strange masquerade we play? We dance around with our hands outstretched, yet nothing comes our way. Oh foolish us, to think such a plan could work! For it seems all we have done is further bungle and jerk. The money spent on this folly could have been put to better use; To build schools or hospitals or give aid to those who need it most. But instead we waste away precious funds on something that cannot last; A phantom project that has no hope of completion in its past. Merry Christmas taxpayers – your hard earned money goes astray!
