I have trust in those who serve the public as volunteers.

As for the others, where does their employer, government, get the money to pay them?

It takes it in taxes, and while some people, possibly even most, pay their tax happily, there are also those who are unwilling to pay, which government regardless either robs or steal from.

How could one trust people who live off the proceeds of crime?

Calling oneself fancy names does not exempt you from the 8th commandment, "Thou shalt not steal".

Unless the top bureaucrats are changed with a change of Govt & PS unions are side-lined during conservative Govt nothing beneficial can ever come from the unrestraint force that is the PS.

As usual, the village idiot throws stones at conservatives without considering the consequences for the left whingers.

Labor has fired a senior public servant for acting against the interests of the labor party. Since the public service is overwhelmingly left-leaning, this gives the liberals carte blanche to start mass firings of left-leaning public servants when the government changes.

Shonky
What a crock of you know what! Left leaning PS, what do they do walk around leaning to the left. Anyway will you be around in 3030 to find out? O'Neil was right about Dud Dutton, as a macho conservative he talks the talk, but can't walk tha walk! Granted a visa to an asylum seeking pedophile, who the High Court said has to be released into the community. Then the Noalition voted against laws to stop the likes of this grub going near schools!

Village idiot,

Lying again I see. Labor let this pedo out and their answer to this cock up was to pass a moronic law banning all 100s of illegal immigrants from being within 200m of schools that was completely unenforceable. The pedo protector was the moron that gave the high court the ammunition to release these criminals ie. Albozo

They would have had a better outcome banning all greens from approaching schools.

It is no point in anyone pretending that the public service is not
just a branch of the Labour Party.
The vote for the Voice proved that. Just look at the figures.
Look at the ACT election vote as well.

Don't know much about Robodebt, was it not just an attempt to get
back an overpayment ?
Perhaps it could have been better handled by giving more time to pay.
Or by simply reducing a present entitlement by a percentage.
Surely no one believes the excess payment should just be written off ?
