Wilkie to question PM about Hobart government job cuts
The Independent Member for Denison, Andrew Wilkie, will ask the following question to the Prime Minister in Question Time today.
“Prime Minister, Department of Human Services ICT jobs are being shed in Hobart despite an assurance from the Government that this would not occur.
“Indeed I’m told that whenever an ICT specialist moves to another role the Department doesn’t refill the position, and that staff have been told that at the end of their current assignments they’ll be deployed elsewhere. In other words the Government is reneging on its promise by stealth.
“Prime Minister will you commit to stop this shedding of Hobart ICT jobs? And do you give an assurance, more broadly, that the Government will maintain at least the current number of public service jobs in Hobart?”
