I'd like to know the real story behind it rather than this stupid media sensationalism, I understand they want 1 billion a year savings for 10 years on the administration (about 5% of annual budget) but the government has also pledged if you read fine print in some reputable news organisations of 3% per year in real money terms to the front line operations (In this day and age it is around 6-7% per year increase. depends on inflation of course) So is this just a cut from one area and give to other? Sounds to me they want to encourage a reduction in all the red-tape in the office towers and redistribute some money to where it counts. Anyway wait until the budget to get the real story
