Public service cuts unlikely to slow down: How many jobs have been cut so far?
Manage episode 425140809 series 2456795
Thousands of jobs have gone, millions of dollars have been spent on redundancy payouts – and it’s not over yet as the public sector continues to tighten its belt.
Budget 2024 set targets for $1.5 billion worth of cost-savings, with estimates for $1b in further savings over numerous financial years.
But as the axe falls, there are questions over whether the cuts will hit the front-line – something the Government’s promised will stay intact.
Today on The Front Page, Newstalk ZB reporter Azaria Howell joins us for an update on whether changes have stayed in the back room – and how many more jobs are at risk.
