* It is extremely rare for a senior public servant to take the
government to court, and the Rankin Case has been the
highest-profile employment grievance this country has ever
seen.
In time, this court case may come to be seen as not about
earrings, fashion, and sexism in the state services ... or even
about the fine-points of employment law and chief executive
contracts.
It may be seen as the political price for stepping away from
the publicly-funded excesses of the 1990s, and towards
reclaiming the �public service we need� in New Zealand today.
