I just keep thinking of the heartlessness of going to an election promising to sack 41,000 people just because they’ve chosen public service. The LNP talks of small business owners going out of business as a tragedy. How is sending thousands of people into unemployment not?

Peter Dutton’s plan to slash 41,000 federal public sector jobs is nearly 4x larger than the cuts Tony Abbott took to the 2013 election
Dutton’s proposed cuts are so large - 1 in 5 jobs - that it’s impossible that essential public services would not be decimated

🇦🇺 has a gas export problem, not a gas supply problem - we export 80-90% of our gas (with little return to taxpayers).
The Govt should use export controls to give 🇦🇺 households & businesses immediate cost of living bill relief. There's no need to open more gas fields.
