Please tell me why it is that, in response to Dutton’s call to sack thousands of public servants who have been able to reduce major backlogs in service provision for Veterans, the unemployed and the disadvantaged, Labor hasn’t been hammering this simple and inconvenient detail for the LNP.
Claiming you’ll save money by cutting the public service is like me saying I’ll save money by cutting my grocery spend by dining out every night
Peter Dutton never lets pesky old facts get in the way of his preferred narrative.

Absolutely.
What is going on with the ABC? Did the work experience kid simply publish Pezzullo’s Press Release?

Last time the coalition attacked this, they politicised our public services, leading directly to the catastrophe of ‘robodebt’. Where senior public servants abandoned their primary duty to the public interest as they competed to ingratiate themselves with their political masters. #neveragain #auspol
Peter Dutton plans to butcher the public service, DOGE style. The last time the LNP tried that they just shoveled cash to the big 4 consulting firms so we got shocking waste, corrupted governance, rampant secrecy & hopeless service. #TaxLawLeak #auspol
Peter Dutton wants to cut public service jobs in Canberra. Here’s what happened last time
There are 26,000 more APS employees than in 2022, but the bill for contractors has fallen from its Covid pandemic peak

Rooftop solar three times cheaper to install in Australia than US, Canada
A new study has found the cost of installing rooftop solar is dramatically lower in Australia than the US and Canada – even in the most expensive Australian state for installation.

This is what happens when the principal of accountability has been steadily degraded over the last 20 years. Nobody thinks it’s their fault!
Personally, I blame Vanstone!

Good morning.
