There was 21.18M australians in 2007 and currently 23.112M. So is it not reasonable to expect that a roughly 10% increase in population will also see an increase in public servants?
Poor ole Tony seems to have faded into the wilderness.
In fact the attention is now on the Ashes series as Rudd in peoples mind is home and hosed.
So it's time to close this thead down.
ALP 55%, Coalition 45%
Libs are just reloading. Rudd will implode within the month
By your union standards maybe. As a taxpayer (their employer) I would expect a tad (your word) increase in productivity. Perhaps spending a few minutes less per day at the water cooler or the photocopier or texting.
I've never worked in the public sector, though my first job was working for a disability charity. The above complaints happen in the private sector. I'd say most of us have done the same while at work.
Some people abuse the flexibility, most of us make a personal call or pay a bill online then back to work.
People seem to berate Public Servants for doing something at work that is fairly common in the private sector.
I'm not arguing for a 10% increase in staffing numbers, but if you are supporting another 10% of customers I'd dare say most private companies would be hiring additional staff to cope with the extra demand.
We have multi billion dollar services open such as nbn and climate change who decked out their office with the best money could buy are you sure its only 11000 new pub servs and they havent glossed over some numbers?
If you look at the Neilsen poll results you the the amazing results in the 18-24 age group of labor 46%, Coalition 28%, Green 18%. Abbott has done nothing for Gen Y.

...The Libs have to decide , do they take their chances hold their nerve and hope the Australian electorate are smart enough to get rid of Labor OR do they move to Turnbull ASAP to try to ensure victory..........they have a week to decide.
Turnbull performed dismally against Rudd last time - Abbott did better than Turnbull. If there is a change, perhaps the amicable Hockey would be better against Rudd?
I don't think Joe is PM material, perhaps we should plan for a Labor win, sell everything that relies on good Govt to succeed.
" Given the popularity of Labor with Gen Y and the demise of the Baby Boomers , could we be looking at decades of successive Labor Governments ? "
Um, what exactly has Rudd done for Gen Y?If you look at the Neilsen poll results you the the amazing results in the 18-24 age group of labor 46%, Coalition 28%, Green 18%. Abbott has done nothing for Gen Y.
I don't think he is either, not by a long shot. My preferred option would be George Brandis.I don't think Joe is PM material,

You're always going to get fewer conservative votes in that age group.
They haven't been around long enough to witness good and bad governments.
Kevin is all about himself. This perhaps resonates with the suggestion that Gen Y is the 'me generation'.
(PS I dislike such generalisations and think it's more likely they're impressed by the way he 'zips' everywhere, seeing this as a sign of enthusiasm and energy, rather than the frenetic behaviour of someone who finds it difficult to focus on seeing something through rather than flipping between thought bubbles and talk fests.)
