PUBLIC SERVICE, REDUNDANCIES
I refer to the Labor Party election promise in a media statement dated 15 January 2001 that, apart from cutting at least 60 chief executive and senior executive officers from the public payroll, there will be no other public service job cuts under Labor’s restructuring. (1) Can the Premier confirm media reports that over 400 redundancies have already been offered in the public sector? (2) Can the Premier advise how many redundancies the Government intends to offer during this calendar year? Dr GALLOP

AnswerView source ↗
(1)-(2) I am happy to talk about this issue, because under the regime that existed until February 2001 in Western Australia, we had a remarkable situation in the public service. A reducing number of people were delivering services to Western Australia, and an increasing number of managerial-class public servants were in the system. Under the previous Government we had an excessive bureaucracy and diminution of service. We made it clear that it was possible to take out of our system 60 senior executive service officers, without having any impact on service delivery, and to use the funds thus released to help the people of Western Australia solve the many problems in our community. To speed up that process, we have offered management-initiated redundancies. That came into the system last week. In terms of the general issue, we said there would be no compulsory redundancies, and that will be the case under my Government. Mr Barnett: You said there will be no other public service job cuts under Labor’s restructuring. Dr GALLOP: I know exactly what I said. Mr Barnett interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! Dr GALLOP: There will be no compulsory redundancies. Let us go back a decade and contrast that - Mr Barnett interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! The Opposition is always concerned about the number of questions that can be asked, but incessant interjections prolong the answers. I am reluctant to call the Leader of the Opposition to order. However, the incessant interjections must stop. Dr GALLOP: I will define a broken promise to this Parliament. Just before the 1993 election the then coalition went to the workers at the Midland Workshops and promised that the workshops would not be closed. The first thing the coalition Government did after the election was to close those workshops. In the eight years of the coalition Government between 10 000 and 11 000 public servants in Western Australia lost their jobs. That is a broken promise! The promises we have given the public service will be backed up by action. Government members: Hear, hear!.
