That is all I am saying. Most people accept that in terms of public service delivery and measurement and metrics New Zealand is seen as a best practice model which many countries look to follow. I do not suggest that we are going down the wrong route; I am just saying that if we apply a New Zealand approach and put the time and work into putting together reports to assess metrics, we need to ensure that we are doing something real.
