‘THE Abbott government has been accused of pettiness and causing “widespread concern” in Canberra by axing high-profile public service chiefs and overhauling government departments. ..
..The Coalition’s first day in office has been likened to John Howard’s “night of long knives” in 1996, when significant cuts were made to public service levels, triggering a downturn in the local economy and a slump in property prices.
The incoming Coalition government has pledged to reduce the public sector headcount by 12,000, to save the budget a forecast $5.2 billion over four years.’
The “local economy”?? Sucking on the taxpayer’s teat is NOT an “economy”, it’s comfortable parasitism. Canberra isn’t the real world, any more than Washington DC is.
UPDATE: Flannery sacked
‘PROFESSOR Tim Flannery has been sacked by the Abbott Government from his $180,000 a year part time Chief Climate Commissioner position, with the agency he runs to be dismantled immediately.
Environment Minister Greg Hunt called Prof Flannery this morning to tell him a letter formally ending his employment was in the mail…”

Heh! Good one, Adolf. The squeals of outrage as snouts are removed from the trough are music to our ears.
And the whiners don’t point out tht Howard’s cuts were to undo the damage done to the economy by the previous Labor government. He inherited a massive deficit and left an enormous surplus–which was promptly pissed away by the next Labor government.
These leftist arseholes simply don’t want to accept the fact that public sector jobs are net drains on the economy as public employees produce nothing of value.
Case in point-Obama “Raising our debt ceiling does not increase our debt”

It’s been done a hundred times and it has done just that one hundred f–king times
It’s called being in denial.

Perfect!
Ooh, that update is GREAT news. Climate guru sacked and agency obliterated? (Do you have anything like our SCOTUS there with which the Left can try and stop it? Claiming that signing Kyoto prevents it or something? Please tell me no.)
May the road to sanity continue, unabated, and spread throughout what is left of the West.
Nope, can’t be stopped, Pascal.
The comments at the link are wonderful–and nearly 400 so far.
Great stuff! Very good to see this.
The adults are back in charge ….. yet again picking up after the mess left by the children.
Meanwhile Key keeps sucking bureaucrat dick.
Spineless stand for nothing loser who seems to think his calling these days is comedy.
I would really, really hate to think that Key is the kind of smarmy weasel most Kiwis want as a PM…surely the Kiwi character can’t have changed so much in the space of twenty or so years?
I firmly believe Shane Jones would have given him a real run for his money. Jones is tough, articulate and able to come across as exactly the kind of “working class” “good bloke” about whom the Labour Party was founded, and who now vote for National in droves because they’re alienated by the poofs, lesbians and crazy green wankers. He would have had to jettison the weirdos, wankers and woofters, but that could only be a good thing.
As it stands, with Labour now to suffer under David Cuntlift, Key’s relative popularity will remain high. Cunliffe is Rudd, a raving egomaniac, but is more of a far-left Stalinist ideologue.
Maybe you can load up the assylum boats and send them packing off that way?
The only bad thing about this is all those newly unemployed marxist technocrats will be arriving here looking for jobs from Obama’s EPA
Poor Leftist bastards
In the Internet Cyberspace EVERYONE can hear you scream
