What is the truth behind the policy?
Before the community casts their vote in the May 3 Federal Election, they should seek details of the public service jobs here on the Coast that are destined to be abolished by December, if Peter Dutton and his local candidates are successful.
Peter Dutton has identified 41,000 positions to be scrapped nationally and 1046 of those jobs are held by residents of the Central Coast in the Tax Office, NDIA, Services Australia and the Electoral Commission.
To claim, as Mr Dutton does, that this policy will be achieved by "natural attrition" by December is totally implausible and to also respond by saying such positions will not be "front line" is offensive to our intelligence.
All candidates, irrespective of their respective parties, are morally bound to reveal to their electorates the truth behind their policies.
To advocate policies without knowing the potential impact on the locals is offensive and dishonest.
Such deception is one of the reasons our broader electorate is currently so disillusioned and disheartened with the system.
