It’s a good plan. My union, @CPSUnion, applauds Labor commitments to fix the administration of the scheme, boost staff levels at NDIA & stop the Morrison govt’s wasteful spending on labor hire companies & consultants.

Today Labor announces our plan to fix the NDIS and restore the scheme to its original vision - giving choice and control to people with disability. bit.ly/3MiFgiF #saveourndis #defendourndis

The test of this spending is whether is delivers better public service IT...or whether it’s just yet more $ for consultants.

Key agencies tasked with delivering the gov's billion$ digital spend are facing staffing & funding cuts, leading to concerns the funding will flow straight to private contractors & do little to improve expertise in the public sector.buff.ly/3uUUH8r @Michtull @DTA @myGovau

The public sector union has urged the fed gov to reconsider its latest attempt to outsource the development of a visa processing platform, labelling it another “rush to use consultants” for work that should be done by the APS.

Also important to note that Centrelink missed 55m calls in a year and call wait times and processing times were all blown out as a result of those cuts. So getting 5k people back now just plugs the pre-corona workload gap!

Govt to slash APS departments from 18 to 14 but nothing in this plan to deal with the real problems. Due to staffing cap people wait longer on hold to Centrelink, Fam Court queues blow out, govt IT systems don’t work, lack of support for regional Australia theaustralian.com.au/nation/…

speaking of regional jobs, I am giving evidence today for @CPSUnion to the Senate Inquiry on Jobs for the Future in Regional Areas - arguing that the Fed Govt must stop cutting regional PS jobs, and start delivering new jobs & better services

Alarming & incredible that a massive decision to #privatise our nations visa system is decided by the Minister and doesn’t require Parliaments approval. Surely a decision of this magnitude & risk should be Parliament’s to make.

Medicare is 35 years old today.
The CPSU has always defended Medicare against political attacks on jobs, funding, services and most recently privatisation.
