Rain, cushions, and public servants
The Tasmanian State Government needs to save $50m, so it tried to enact a pay freeze for public service employees. It seems they pushed their draft bill hard up to the edge of the cliff at the 11th hour, and couldn’t get it to fly. Rather than push it over the edge it’s plan B: reduce the state’s public service by 1,200 to straighten out the budget.
