Oracle of DelphiPublic Sector No Job Security
January 21st 2009 00:47
Kevin Rudd has today called on employers to refrain from sacking staff as a result of the economic downturn.
Will the Prime Minister give the same commitment to protect the job security of public servants as he is asking of private employers?
“It would be nothing short of hypocrisy if Kevin Rudd refuses to protect the jobs of Australia’s public servants, after calling on the private sector to save jobs,” Opposition spokesman for Employment Participation, Andrew Southcott said today.
“We’ve already seen the ATO make 133 non-ongoing staff redundant before their contracts were due to conclude. Other Federal agencies and departments are set to follow suit.
“Yet, the public service job cuts cannot be attributed to the global financial crisis. The entire blame for these job cuts rests solely with Labor’s razor gang.
“As the Chief Bureaucrat in charge of the Australian Public Service, the buck stops with Kevin Rudd. Once again, it’s a matter of ‘don’t look at what Kevin Rudd says, look at what he does’.”
