The Public Service Association welcomes news that one of South Australia’s foremost experts on the labour market has today called for a radical rethink on public sector cuts.

Associate Professor John Spoehr from the University of Adelaide has attacked the Government’s rationale for continuing to seek $750m in public sector cuts in today’s “Adelaide Review”, arguing, as the PSA has, that economic conditions have changed greatly since the cuts were announced in last year’s budget.

Professor Spoehr’s position adds further weight to the PSA’s argument that there is no justifiable reason for the Sustainable Budget Commission to continue with its brief to slash an already stretched public sector.
