'Bigger doesn't mean better': Coalition backs plan to cut 'blown out' public service
The Coalition is backing a plan for a public service hiring freeze along with cuts to return staff numbers to pre-pandemic levels.
Shadow Minister for Finance and the Public Service Senator Jane Hume told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "Our concern is that the public service has blown out in size dramatically under this government."
"There's 36,000 new public servants, that's a 20% increase in just three years."
"I don't think that a bigger public service necessarily delivers better public services," Senator Hume said.
