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.



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.



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 ?

The Fat Cats want their saucer of milk.

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...

“

What they do every day is:

work hard.

Pay their taxes.

(try as hard as they can to avoid their taxes in many cases).

Put their kids through school.

If they have any

Look after their families.

Some of them

And give back to their communities

Ho Ho Ho Really

and they are the centre of my focus as PM.

Not the bloody public servants thats for sure.

The public service love to contract out as much work as possible.

Mostly they are forced to outsource because of under employment.

ScoMo's Trump style approach will send fear and chills up the Public service.

How long before the CPSU organizes a strike ?

CANBERRA (Xinhua) – Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Thursday announced a sweeping overhaul of the nation’s public service.

The prime minister told News Corp Australia that he will oversee a significant shake-up of all 18 departments and 100 agencies of the government to ensure that they are serving the “quiet Australians.”



Martin Parkinson, the secretary of the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, has confirmed that he will step down from as Australia’s highest-ranking bureaucrat at the end of August, two years before his term is set to expire.

You do know that the Public service and the public sector are not the same thing, likely the reason for some confusion. The Public service is only a small part of the public sector. The public sector includes the Police, firemen hospital workers, school teachers etc.

Happy to apologise if you like but as I said in the previous post we were talking about different things. The topic is on the Public service and you are talking public sector.

It is a big question mark that 8/10 jobs have been created in the PS in the last year nationally (Not Vic).

This shows that private sector employment is in extreme crisis with the economy doing much worse than we thought. More numbers hidden till after the election by a very poor performing government and supporting government authorities happy to cover up their poor performance and support their lies.

Ahhh the old Liberal lets cut the public service jobs.


It fails to recognise that what inevitably happens is that within 6 months, they realise they don't have enough staff to do all the work, so they hire everyone on 2 yr contracts which are then turned into full time anyway.


Want to cut the public service, you don't cut staff, you cut the BS they have to do.

The Lefties are apologizing for the public service.

If Labor had got in they would have simply bloated the public service.

BH is ducking and weaving to avoid apologizing.

Batten down the hatches!! The irate Greeny Kangyroo is attacking her HATED enemy!!!!!

She is totally clueless how BH and me play war games. The she IS a Greeny.

A Greeny NEVER forgives you if you humiliate her and she will continue a HATE session with you for years.

Oh well what's another one. I have already got a couple of others. It's all like water on a duck's back to me. But quite amusing while rather boring and irrelevant.

The Public sector is currently employing (Bloating) 8 of 10 employed under a coalition government, do you really think you could have made a sillier comment ?
