So someone's getting paid $67k to 'review' ads? Meanwhile my rates are going up again. Get a grip.

Exactly! My grandkids could've done it for free.

honestly this feels like a joke. 67k to look at some facebook ads? i could do that for half the price and a pack of beers

Sky Murphy2026-06-17T06:51:39.000Z

haha tru, but tbh someone prob got a mate to do it. classic nz.

Typical government waste. Sir Brian Roche collecting a fat fee while the rest of us pay for it. Great job team.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's some consultancy firm owned by an ex-MP. Sickening.

FFS another review. What are they actually reviewing? The color of the buttons? Just let us get back to work.

Jack Morrison2026-06-17T06:54:39.000Z

could've bought a new ambulance for that. But nah, let's review some ads.

I mean, public money should be spent wisely, but this is pocket change compared to what they waste on consultants. Still annoying though.

Tom Harris2026-06-17T06:55:39.000Z

yeah nah this is cooked. 67k for a review? get stuffed. we could've spent that on actual services.

Kai Thompson2026-06-17T06:59:39.000Z

Just saw the original ads - they were pretty dodgy tbh. But still, $67k? Couldn't they just ask an intern?

bloody oath. my mate's a graphic designer, woulda done it for a box of steinlager.
