The other day I nominated Tony Abbott for the Whaleoil Politician of The Year Award.
Today I also add my April Nomination for the same nomination. Tony Ryall.
The Government expects 470 public service positions will go by the end of next year, State Services Minister Tony Ryall’s office has confirmed.
The Labour Party blew the whistle on the cuts today, saying it had Cabinet papers which showed health, education and Inland Revenue would bear the brunt of what it called “indiscriminate cuts to public services”.
State services spokesman Grant Robertson said the papers were confusing and showed 460 positions would go by the end of this year. A spokesman for Mr Ryall said the correct figure was 470 at the end of 2011.
I seriously doubt that if we fired half of the civil service tomorrow we would even notice any decline in service.
rant Robertson should focus on what matters, not a bunch of over-paid report writers. Then of course with the PSA being one of the biggest contributers to the broke Labour party he can do little else than agitate on their behalf.
470 civil servants is a good start Mr Ryall, why don’t you see if you can make it an even 1000 by the end of 2011.
