When Dutton says LNP will cut the APS by 36,000, remember they've done this before. Then they had to backfill with consultants (an external workforce).

ABC's #Insiders is now #SkyNews on Sunday. Smarmy Liberal Party fanboy David Speers blatantly uses the program to push the LNP agenda. It is not fair or balanced. It does not accurately reflect the current Parliament (rarely interviewing Teal independents.) It is not journalism. #auspol #AusVotes25
