the cut in spending is going to have to happen at some point, unless we're all ok with debt servicing as a huge spend in our budget.
The government shouldn't have bloated the public service just so they can say "Hey look unemployment isn't as bad" Its an illusion and a costly one.
In lock step with wage freezes, the government should have implemented at the very least a hiring freeze of non front end essential personal.
The money that was spent on a expensive boost of the operating budget could have been spent on infrastructure for example.
There was no need to super spend on the operational budget, its ridiculously stupid.
