I READ (GCB, 17/4)

that the Northern Territory Government is to axe 52 of its highest paid public servants, and 100 other less important positions under a plan to repair its budget, which proves that wisdom does exist in the Top End.

Obviously wisdom fails to exist within the Palaszczuk Labor Government, who at the end of June 2018, had more than 225,490 public servants on the payroll, plus the extra 4500 she has hired since, with reports revealing that the majority of the 4500 have no real duties to perform, and simply cannot justify their existence or their taxpayer funded salaries.

The total Queensland public sector salaries bill will be $23.8 billion in 2018-19.
