ScoMo putting the cleaners thru the Public Service

While Labor bloats the Public Service to hide unemployment ScoMo wants action from them as they cost heaps.



Bureaucrats told to focus on ‘quiet Aussies’

Australia’s federal bureaucrats have been told to focus on everyday people and not the Canberra “bubble” or lobbyists after the Prime Minister laid out his hopes for a new era in the public service.

Scott Morrison has also urged his ministers to ensure they set policy direction for their departments instead of leaving a “leadership vacuum” public servants are forced to fill.


More than 800 public servants filled parliament’s Great Hall on Monday for the PM’s address to the Institute of Public Administration, setting out six goalposts for the sector.

“The vast majority of Australians will never come to Canberra to lobby government,” he said.

“What they do every day is work hard. Pay their taxes. Put their kids through school. Look after their families. And give back to their communities and they are the centre of my focus as PM.

“These are your stakeholders, not the myriad of vested and organised interests that pretend to this status.”

Mr Morrison wants all government services to be available online by 2025.

The Prime Minister also stressed ministers should set policy direction and not be a “captive” to their departments.

“They must be clear in what they are asking of the public service. They must not allow a policy leadership vacuum to be created, expecting the public service to fill it and do their job.”

Mr Morrison used a bacon and eggs analogy from his rugby days to describe the principle, where the “chicken is involved, but the pig is committed”.

He also said the public sector needed to be focused on service delivery and meeting targets to ensure the government was kicking goals.

Australia’s public service should also learn to be more nimble and adapt to the constant change that marks modern life.

To help it do this, Mr Morrison believes it should attract more of the nation’s brightest minds working in the private sector.

Long-term public servants should also spend some time in the private sector, he feels, to encourage a diversity of ideas.

“It’s vital that the APS avoid the sort of stale conventional wisdoms and orthodoxies that can infuse all large organisations.”


Mr Morrison’s speech came as former Telstra boss David Thodey finalised a review of the public service, which is expected to be handed to the government within weeks.

Shadow treasurer Jim Chalmers said the government needed to get off the path of “arbitrary public service caps”, which led to billions of dollars being spent on labour hire.

“Scott Morrison needs to work with the public service to come up with a plan for the future, especially a plan to deal with the challenges in our economy,” Dr Chalmers said in Brisbane.

“Instead he sees the public service as something that needs to be tamed and not tapped.”

But Mr Smith this is the new broom syndrome as ScoMo has not been there for long and he needs to clean out the terrible Labor legacy and the Moody Mal legacy deeply entrenched in the Public Service.

Also the negative union influence riddling the Public Service.

Is ScoMo Australia's Trump ?

There problem as stated is the billions of dollars it is costing to get the work that should have been done by the employees that they made redundant ?

Guess that means that they were not redundant if the work is still there to be done.

This  is saying that they have already downsized too much if it is costing billions to cover the staff losses.

Gotta make room for his mates to contract for basic clerical tasks at huge cost....

Man's an idiot....

"Australia’s federal bureaucrats have been told to focus on everyday people and not the Canberra “bubble” or lobbyists after the Prime Minister laid out his hopes for a new era in the public service."

Maybe his farken party could try the same for a change.... before the guillotine is in vogue again...

"New era"?  What?  Another 'effective combination of public and private enterprise'?

What a moron... NO private enterprise has yet proven to be more efficient in any public domain... too many leeches and parasites and brain-deads onboard...

The public servants who are made redundant are the workers not the fat cats.

Isn't it true that of 380,000 jobs
created in the previous 12 months
in Victoria that 300,000 are
public servant positions?

Yes - that's right - fake jobs
for our fake economy paid
for with debt.

I regard all the politicians as the real bludgers!

Most have never had a real job in their life

Who do the lobbyists come to influence when Parliament is in session?

Not the bloody public servants thats for sure.

Bah Humbug!  Angry Angry Angry
