All very sound but maybe a bit idealistic in practice. And events have moved on in relation to DGs. There are a number of acting appointments pro tem, including DG for Premier and Cabinet. Mr Mackie remains on the acting list but also remains as PSCer, leaving open the option of moving back to that position. Interesting to watch that appointment. 10 positions to be filled permanently.
DC has kept the same group of people from the shadow Cabinet to become Ministers but shuffled a few people and modified responsibilities. More or less as promised but there must be change down the track as it seems unlikely all will perform as hoped for.
There’s a swap for Leader of the House, with Andrew Powell becoming a minister with major responsibilities for Environment and Tourism, and the Premier has indicated this is to sort out some issues. Treasurer also has the Energy responsibilities, presumably to get control of any wild expenditures lurking out there. A few other significant changes e.g. Main Roads portfolio, presumably including a focus on the Bruce Highway.
No references at all to Assistant Ministers. Again, interesting. They may come later as people like Amanda Stoker need a chance to perform and have good experience. Also north Qld supported the Government electorally but doesn’t seem to have gained obvious representation at the Cabinet level.
Finally, what has happened to all those media people employed under the previous Labor Governments? Have they all gone or did they slip into the PS to hide away?

The only thing that I want to hear about the public "service", in Queensland, other states, and in Canberra, is that they have been drastically reduced, and the 'servants' have been able to get into productive work.

We do need public services, but there are too many of them, increasing under the Albanese regime and touted as "job creation", when the jobs we should be creating in are private enterprise and productive.

Some extensive good advice. Whether this government is capable of following any of it remains to be seen.

Just take a very minuscule peek at the Robodebt scandal or Premier Newman's efforts in Queensland to refresh your memory of the complete and catastrophic destruction of the public service by politicians. It seems that the only reason politicians get out of bed in the morning is to (a) get elected and (b) stay elected. Therefore, I can not see any of Scott's perfectly reasonable suggestions even getting a look in. Sad really.

Amazing that someone living off social welfare would say;

"The only thing that I want to hear about the public "service", in Queensland, other states, and in Canberra, is that they have been drastically reduced, and the 'servants' have been able to get into productive work."

Here's a start, get rid of aged welfare payments to the non-productive's, and then the taxpayer wont need to fund an army of PS to pay billions to pensioners who have no prospect of ever kicking in again.

I'd overlooked this thread & the last post by Paul1405 highlights the ignorance we're up against.
It is one of the reasons why bureaucrats should be ineligible for voting.
The Robodebt fiasco was solely due to bureaucrats with the mentality above. The indifference to responsibility & integrity by many bureaucrats are the main factors in the failures of providing the services in which literally hundreds of Millions of dollars are misappropriated or blatantly wasted.
