* The Labor Government intends to retrench a further 2;300
people from DAB over the neat two years (Canb.Times 17
September 1992)
* Government Business Enterprises have reduced their
staffing levels by a massive 34,000 people over the last two
years. (EPAC Report quoted in Reserve Bank of Aust. Bulletin
September 1992)
* Under a Labor Government and in the last year alone:
The Dept of Administrative Services lost 1168 staff
The Department of Defence lost 697 staff
The Australian Tag Office lost 4711 staff
(Dept. of Finance Statistical Bulletin 1991-92)
SOME SPECIFIC EXAMPLES OF LABOR HYPOCRISY:
The Department of Administrative Services
Senator Blokes boasts that the staffing numbers in Department of Administrative Services have been decreased, under a Labor Government, from 18,000 to 11,200 (that is by 6800 staff) and that a further 2300 retrenchments will take place over the next two years.
Yet the Department of Finance coatings quoted by Rod Kelly estimate that staff in DAB will be reduced by only 110 jobs under a Liberal Government.
Department of Defence
Over the last three years of Labor Government there have been 912 retrenchments and redundancies in the Department of Defence. Taking the Dept. of Finance coatings, staff in the Dept. of Defence would be reduced by 595 under a Liberal Government.
Department of Primary Industries and Energy
Staff numbers in the Department of Primary Industries have been reduced -by 446 in the last three years under Labor. Dept. of Finance costings indicate that staff in the Dept. of Primary Industries and Energy will be reduced by 131 under a Coalition Government.
