The government's social housing agency is set to cut 321 jobs, part of the government-ordered down-sizing affecting organisations across the public service. That's on top of previously announced cuts at Kainga Ora, with this second round of restructuring bringing the total to 553. The government said it's made its expectations on performance and efficiency clear. Across the public sector, the job cuts total more than 6500. As Kate Green reports, it all comes as public servants are urged to stop working from home and return to the office.
