The New Zealand public service is corrupt to the core. It is no secret in geopolitical circles that the USA puts people who have pledged allegiance to USA interests into the bureaucracies of their allies.

The big corruption issue is if that in the health system. Drs don’t do what most think they do and we are lied to everyday by our drs. They are not making us healthy at all. They are making us customers for life and managing our death. If you look at all the legislation around the self policing of healthcare and our complaints systems, they are all designed to fail. A dr making a complaint about witnessing another dr doing bad things is very likely to get in trouble themselves. There is no investigation, it’s all done by determination, they are not allowed to investigate. They just read what both parties have said and decide which is more believable. One of my drs tried doing something to stop the corruption of a group of drs who were corrupting the court process. He faced retaliation and told me he now had to leave medicine for good. This is why they don’t abide by their statutory responsibilities. No one is allowed to do anything to investigate the truth. Drs know they are giving bad advice. But they have to for the money. They have become corrupted and have dirt on each other. Familiarity breeds corruption when it comes to the public service

NZ is horribly corrupt, and to the highest levels. not sure about foreign bribery tho. I wrote something for the Electoral Commission a while back around the influence of foreign companies in our elections.....completely ignored. And what about all the money that Peters/NZF received that they didn't declare, and the SFO 'investigation' into bribes, I mean party donations, for Labour and National. Nothing to see here folks....they made the donees the patsies and the political parties got off scot free. Corrupt? I think so. The Electoral Commission is another glaring example of how organised incompetence can be - on purpose or by accident? (You had ONE JOB EC, just ONE JOB). https://outdoorsparty.co.nz/submission-by-nz-outdoors-party-to-the-justice-committee-on-the-2020-elections/

Combined with the the Government Electronic Tenders Service (GETS) the primary platform for publishing government procurement contracts, New Zealanders are told zip.

I believe NZ is not immune to corruption as many in NZ would like to believe. Taking a look around at the world it seems to be the way governments, big corporations and global organisation are run. And this lie about Digital ID stopping corruption is a semi lie, it may catch the everyday person but miss the main culprits, who seem to be above the law. Sadly, until people realise govt is the biggest scam of all along with the banking system and grow a backbone, nothing will change.
