I agree in general with the concept of reducing contracted labour and instead bringing that expertise in house where it is required but you can’t just say 10 billion in savings without saying what you cut.

Has anyone here actually worked with these types of consultants? If you have, you'd know how embarrassing it is that the government is spending this much money on them.
They're glorified project managers, but instead of being at the company and understanding the industries or processes, they only have a very high level understanding. All they do is create tracking sheets and dashboards with zero actual value addition on what needs to get done for a successful project, but higher levels see the pretty dashboards and go "oooh!".
This should be the easiest spending cut in the history of spending cuts. It's gotten so dumb that our previous idiot Prime Minister literally hired consultants to provide advice about saving money on consultants.
