"Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has doubled down on his commitment to sack
thousands of public servants if he’s elected prime minister.

Dutton has again highlighted the “wasteful” 36,000 increase in public service
jobs under Labor, which he says has made the Australian Public service “bloated
and inefficient”.

While there is considerable political hyperbole and Trumpian allusions in
Dutton’s statements, there are areas where legitimate savings could be made by
whoever wins the coming election. That includes a second-term Albanese
government, which would need to find efficiencies to offset promised wage
increases."
