More jobs to go Ms Dyson?

News today that almost 100 jobs at Auckland Museum are to disappear "under a restructuring programme":

Minister of Social Development, the Hon Ruth Dyson responded, saying "I don't think that this is bad news at all, actually".

OK, I'm being mischievious here - she didn't say that today - BUT - those were Ruth Dyson's EXACT words when it was announced that 29,000 jobs had vanished in the first three months of 2008. And as jobs continue to vapourise on a daily basis, the insensitivity of Ruth Dyson towards those losing their jobs will continue to be exposed. So much for Labour being the "Workers's Party" eh!
