The public sector compensation is estimated to be $25 billion for 2016/17 which is 49% of the total government expenses of $51 billion. There may not be $10 billion dollars of worth of savings there, but with a few small cuts they could probably find at least 1 or 2 billion in savings.
The government could postpone/defer large capital projects that aren't critical to build right away.
