OUR PRIORITIES —
TARGETS
1058. Mrs L.M. HARVEY to the Premier:
I refer to the Labor Party's
election commitment to introduce key performance indicators for public
servants, which was subsequently attacked by the public sector unions. Will the
Premier now table a list of the key performance indicators for all directors
general?

AnswerView source ↗

When I announced the ''Our
Priorities: Sharing Prosperity'' targets for government, I indicated at
that point that in light of those targets, I expected directors general across
the public sector to work towards them. It is an important priority for
government to insist that government work together across agencies to achieve
outcomes. I also indicated that in light of the pay freeze and the coming
together of government agencies, the work on individual key performance
indicators for senior public servants would take longer than expected because
of all those factors. That process is going on and it may well be that in the
next 18 months to two years that it is worked through. I said that when Our
Priorities was launched, which was about six months or so ago. It is a pity
that the Leader of the Opposition did not read the press release.
