LABOR WILL DEFEND CANBERRA
An extra efficiency dividend on the public service will more spell even harder times for the Commonwealth Public Service should Tony Abbott and the Liberals win tomorrow’s election.
An extra 0.25 per cent increase in the efficiency dividend announced by the Liberals yesterday will take it to 2.5 per cent next financial year.
This is in addition to the minimum 12,000 jobs due to be axed if Tony Abbott wins government.
On the final day of the campaign, ACT Federal Labor representatives urged Canberra to remember the devastation to the local economy and relocation of families when Mr Howard was elected in 1996.
Senator Kate Lundy and MPs Andrew Leigh and Gai Brodtmann pledged to protect jobs and continue building a healthy and inclusive Canberra.
“We are proud of our investments in Canberra from Better Schools to the NBN that have enlarged the capacity of individuals and communities to thrive and meet the challenges of the 21st century.”
“We’ve built DisabilityCare, put a price on carbon which business is positively responding to, and we’ve built Australia’s first national, fair and affordable paid parental scheme.”
“By contrast, Mr Abbott has not offered any alternative vision and continues to show contempt for the nation’s capital.”
“The Liberal’s commitments to the ACT this campaign have paled in comparison to Labor’s.
“Where Labor has made funding commitments for local organisations and services like the University of Canberra, the Gungahlin Jets and community legal centres, the Liberals have only pledged to cut.”
