Public servants to rally over Queensland Government job cuts

by: Robyn Ironside
From: The Courier-Mail
July 06, 2012

PUBLIC servants plan to step up their industrial action against the Newman Government after it was revealed 2000 jobs would be slashed from Queensland Rail. Shocked

A major rally has been planned for outside State Parliament on July 16 to protest job cuts in what is expected to be a precursor to wider industrial action.

The Courier-Mail revealed yesterday the Government was considering slashing 2200 jobs from Queensland Rail, one in five positions at Translink, and 500 jobs were to go at the Department of Justice and Attorney-General. Sad

Similar reductions were being considered in other departments in addition to the about 3000 positions already abolished.

Together Queensland state secretary Alex Scott said the rally would be held after work on July 16, to send "a clear message" to Premier Campbell Newman. Wink

"This week we've seen the end of permanency in the public sector," said Mr Scott, referring to a directive that allows heads of department to retrench excess staff if they cannot be relocated to another position after four months.

"While these job cuts are out of control, we need to make sure we continue to have a system of frank and fearless advice to government ministers independently of the political government."

Mr Scott said industrial action was likely in late August or September.

Transport Minister Scott Emerson yesterday revealed Queensland Rail executives initially suggested the State Government look at getting rid of train guards. Sad

As reported yesterday, the Government is now targeting the "bloated executive" of Queensland Rail along with hundreds of positions not related to service delivery.

While Mr Emerson would not rule anything out in relation to the jobs of train guards, he said executive managers were told to look "a bit closer to home".

Calm down, he is only trying to stop us going broke after years of labor mismanagement.

Here's a little bit of info both labor and greece failed to comprehend, you can't spend more than you earn.

It wouldn't be so painful if they weren't so incompetent.

I haven't sacked anyone. I do want to see us not go down the path of greece and other failed states and live within our means. This may seem a totally alien concept to you lefties but this is what normal / good governments do.

Unless these public servants are totally unemployable they should find work easy enough; just like the rest of us have to, when we become unemployed.
