Janetzki said that the government was in a 2024-25 financial year to spend $ 4.5 billion on external consultants in a 20 percent orbit.

“The key to straightening this orbit,” he said.

“When we set up the government, we wanted more abilities at home, we wanted them to deliver more at home, and we will provide them with the QGCs – through the Treasury.

“These expectations have already noticed that the orbit is flattening.”

Before the election of last year’s public service deductions, the worker warned the former Newman LNP government using the experience of the first budget of 14,000 public officials.

Until this week, the opposition leader Steven Miles said that history should close the alarm bells.

Janetzki said the measure will save $ 18 million from taxpayers for four years.

Even though the Crisaflli government continued to negotiate corporate bargaining agreements with the workers in the departments, a “more sustainable” annual public sector expense increase of 3.5 percent per year was cooked in the budget.

Janetzki said that the negotiations with trade unions will continue in despite the ceiling in the budget documents.

“As you will appreciate, the process will vary from department to department and agreement,” he said.

“These negotiations will continue, but the position in the budget documents is open.”

Jacqueline King, Secretary General of the Council of Trade Unions, said that the growing public sector was welcomed, while it was a matter of “robbing Peter to pay Paul”.

“Agreements for police, teachers, firefighters and other public sector workers end on 1 July and the current bid of the annual average wage increase is only 2.67 percent,” he said.

“This proposal is less than the Treasury estimation fee price index, which is 3.5 percent, 3.25 and 3.25 percent for 2025-26 to 2027-28, and we know that public and private sector employees have increased an average of 4.6 percent annually.

“There is no fund to improve the wage parent permission of the state, which is one of the lowest rights in the country and is a key factor in withdrawing and holding the labor force.”
