Wellington staff at the Department of Internal Affair are among the most affected in proposed job cuts. The Public Service Association has labelled the job cuts as a “slap in the face” for workers. Staff were first informed in July that as many as 150 roles could be cut or reassigned, with further details emerging after an initial consultation period. 123RF Passport registration staff represent almost three-quarters of job losses. iStock The proposal would see jobs cut in Wellington and Auckland, and added in Christchurch.
