Good reminder of the Coalitions idiotic ideological demand for smaller government no matter the real benefits a trained and committed workforce brings compared to their contractor scammers, anybody like PWC to take back over?

I think associating mass government firings to ideology is being too charitable. LNP are in government 2/3 of the time. They have created the small government they wanted. This latest idea is just to be cruel, nothing more. They are not good people.

Conservatisms goal everywhere is to destroy representative government — to render it toothless by making it a tool of the oligarchy — and return the peasants to feudalism, ruled by a corporate plutocracy.

That's why all conservative governments do the exact same thing; starve the beast, defund and privatise.
