Labor MP says Coalition’s public service job cuts could ‘make us less safe’
The public service is “on the ballot” at the coming election, assistant minister Patrick Gorman says, welcoming a fight with the Coalition on public services and the size of Australia’s bureaucracy.
Australia now faces the most challenging set of strategic circumstances since world war II. Is it really the time to be launching an attack on the public service?
At best, deep cuts to the public service will take our nation backwards. At worst, deep cuts will make us less secure, less safe and unable to shape the world around us.
The public service also has a fundamental role in the functioning of a democracy.
