The cost-benefit calculation taking place on the 9th floor of a building in Wellington is likely to be coming down on the side of cost quite soon, I'd say.
Maybe it's a Sunk Cost Fallacy thing. "FFS, we smeared ourselves with so much shit to get Banks in here, we can't just waste it..."

Select committees ask departments for information about contractors and consultants. How many and total cost is required for every department's yearly financial review. Those numbers exist.

GAAAAHHHH!!! I thought I'd unpublished this. The Registered Jobseekers thing is actually not a good proxy for toughness of the labour market because the policy on registration for welfare has changed.
Many, many apologies. Ignore this post.
