A TRADE UNIONIST is blasting governments for bloating the Public Service with political picks for people who supported them.

Presently, Government expects to spend $763 million, or about 30 per cent of Government revenue, on maintaining the jobs of public officers.
Maloney said Government had to keep the Public Service from ballooning to the point where it then had to cut workers as was the case last year when 3 000 public servants lost their jobs. (GE)
