I'll tell you what it means when the LNP use it, taking the Campbell Newman model as the exemplar.

It means targetted Public Servants will be sent a letter giving them an option of pissing off (with a redundancy package) or not pissing off, risking the wrath of Khan and have to apply to hold the job they presently have.

They choose to piss off....and that is called 'natural attrition.'

"Campbell Newman exemplar"
Then should we use the NSW ALP corruption exemplar to condemn Rudd?

"They choose to piss off"
It's a choice to piss off. So how can Labor truthfully say that LIBs will "slash" jobs

Because they're speaking from experience. That's exactly what they've been doing for the past 12 months or so with 8,000 gone already - or roughly 6% of the total head count.

12,000 is about 10% if you remove those in the armed forces from the headcount.

i would never count public service job losses as real job losses as they dont exist in the real economy.
they are a win for the real economy , and as such, should be counted as a bonus.
we (the private sector) dont want to employ any of those public servants though, as they are tarnished goods. it would take years to retrain them in efficient work practices.
personally, they should all be parked in extensive 'work for the dole ' projects, and be made available to the private sector to do menial tasks like washing our cars, cleaning our toilets, maybe fetching the mail.
tony is aiming way too low with these numbers. i'd close canberra down and operate the country from kirribilli

No BUCKETS of MONEY that those who work in the private sector do not get....they get whats laughingly called packages....

and they even ask if any packages are being offered...yes they do.....

ooooooo if you only knew........ Roll Eyes

Instead, people who might otherwise have been employed don't get a job. They stay on benefits. Win-win, hey?
