	Civil Service Systems in Comparative Perspective
		New Zealanders have generally condemned the mode of recruitment to this class as undemocratic, and this attitude is mirrored in the commissioner's reports:...
		In adopting this position New Zealand has overlooked certain merits of the administrative class namely (1) recognition of the general administration function (2) preparation for which requires university education in subjects that "open, invigorate and enrich the mind", and (3) that future administrative leaders must be given early in-service training on responsible work (Lipson, 1948).
		Both the establishment of a program for public administration and in-service training was influenced by the growing impact of "scientific management" of the 1920s influenced by the work of Frederick W Taylor and its emphasis on the non-political public service which recognised the separation of politics and administration (Henderson, 1990, 37).

	OECD Ethics: New Zealand case study (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Public scrutiny of the performance of the Public Service in this regard has increased in recent times, and the news media are quick to report public interest matters, particularly those involving the management and use of resources which have been appropriated or entrusted to departments.
		It is therefore likely that the Public Service of the future will be characterised by an even greater concern for giving expression to such concepts as equity and fairness, and that managers will come to recognise more and more that ethical management is an important resource that contributes to the working of their departments.
		In this new environment, the management of ethics takes on a new meaning - the focus will not solely be on policing and monitoring, but increasingly on the promotion of integrity in the Public Service, on ethics education, and on raising awareness about and understanding of the ethical values that underpin public service.

	New Zealand public service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The New Zealand public service consists of the 36 state sector organisations established as public service departments, and then listed in Schedule 1 of the State Sector Act 1988; not all government departments are in the public service.

	Toward Better Governance - Public Service Reform in New Zealand (1984-94) and its Relevance to Canada
		New Zealand is an island nation in the South Pacific, roughly the size of the United Kingdom in area but sparsely populated, with 3.5 million people, and geographically remote from other countries (Australia lies almost 2,000 kilometres to the west, across the Tasman Sea).
		New Zealand's discovery by Europeans (the Dutch) dates from the seventeenth century, although the country was not colonized until the early nineteenth century, by the British.
		The level of service to the public was also poor; as a typical example, it took an average of six weeks for the state telephone monopoly to install a domestic telephone.

	Civil Service Systems in Comparative Perspective
		This was a natural response from New Zealanders to the changing political scene, that is from the "politics of equality to the politics of inequality" (Mascarenhas, 1994).
		The Public Service Act of 1912 laid the foundation of a politically neutral service free of patronage thus restoring public confidence in government.
		While core public services remained as departments under direct control of ministers, they underwent a rigorous analysis intended to improve their operations by adopting a range of modern management practices on private sector lines.

	New Zealand Public Service Code of Conduct (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Public servants are obliged to serve the aims and objectives of the Minister.
		Public servants should ensure that their contribution to any public debate or discussion on such matters is appropriate to the position they hold, and is compatible with the need to maintain a politically neutral Public Service.
		Public servants need to ensure that their participation in political matters does not bring them into conflict, or the appearance of conflict, with their duty as public servants to act in a politically neutral manner.

	GATS - General Agreement on Trade and Services
		The General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) is seen by many as a threat to public services, a deliberate creation of big business to force governments to privatise services and open them up for private profit.
		New Zealand is a member of the WTO and a signatory to GATS, as are 144 other countries.
		Close to 70 percent of international trade is made up of services and, as new technologies are developed, this figure will continue to rise at the expense of trade in goods.

	Winz --Voices on the Public Service We Need
		Public service values are being exchanged for private sector values which are misplaced in the public service.
		It is one thing to insist on a separation of the public service and the influence of politicians; it is quite another for public servants to think they are answerable to no one.
		Stories about extravagance and waste are more exciting to read and easier to write than ones about improved services, better-skilled staff, better-researched advice and changes for the better in the lives of New Zealanders.

	PSA - New Zealand Public Service Association
		Following another attack on public servants by the National Party today, the PSA issued a press release in support of the increase in staff in the public service, saying that quality services require adequate numbers of staff to deliver them.
		The public health system is the winner from the 'pay jolt' for the over 12,000 Public Service Association members in District Health Boards who receive pay increases which average between 12 and 20 percent from tomorrow.
		The PSA believes that management in the public service must improve if employers are to get the most out of public servants and if public servants are to successfully develop their careers.

	Ministry of Justice, new Zealand: Combating Bribery and Corruption
		The State Services Commissioner sets standards of integrity and conduct for the Public Service and, from time to time, issues these in the New Zealand Public Service Code of Conduct.
		The Code of Conduct sets minimum standards of behaviour expected from public servants, one of which is that they perform their official duties honestly.
		The Public Service Code of Code reinforces the fact that corrupt behaviour will not be tolerated in the New Zealand public service with any breach of its standards leading to the possibility of not only criminal sanctions but the immediate loss of employment.
