CPSU members in Services Aus are on strike as they demand a better outcome on pay. We've had multiple reports of impacts, meaning SA is struggling more than usual. SA workers need a decent pay rise, safer workplaces, and more staff so they can deliver better public services.

Instead of capping the number of public service employees, the Turnbull government should stop it's wasteful spending on contractors and consultants. #scrapthecap

All workers deserve and should expect safe workplaces. Staffers should be no different. CPSU members want: - An independent review of work practices & culture - Mandatory sexual harassment & bullying training for parliamentarians & senior staff #auspol

‘Little support’: Survey found sexual harassment and bullying widespread in political offices

A survey of federal political offices found sexual abuse and bullying were widespread but nearly two-thirds of staffers feared for their careers if they reported it.

The ALP have committed 50 new DHS jobs for the electorate of Braddon. Cuts to staffing have put our services under enormous pressure with increased waiting times and a crisis in services. CPSU members have been able to get the ALP to listen and commit to doing better. #auspol

The Morrison govt said he is serious about wage growth, yet he suppresses the wages of public servants as a fact of policy. This is his economic record. #auspol #AusVotes2022

The Turnbull Govt is spending billions to try and paper over the holes it has hacked in our public services. We can't fix this with expensive consultants - we need public servants to run public services.

MPs alarmed at government consultancy spending

Labor and Coalition MPs want tighter restrictions on the use of external consultants by federal government departments amid a cost blowout.

The Government cannot ignore the lines outside Centrelink while the health advice is to stay home and socially distance. At the peak of the pandemic last year the Government upgraded online access and CPSU members are calling for this to occur again.

The queue at Fairfield Centrelink has been like this every day since lockdown started. It goes down the street and around the corner. It's not good enough. Jobkeeper would fix it. Scott Morrison is letting Western Sydney down. Bring back Jobkeeper.

Frontline workers spoke up and they were ignored. Had their experience and expertise been valued and respected by the Coalition and those senior in Department, this whole crisis could have been avoided. #RobodebtRC #Robodebt
