Public service squeeze 'not unusual or controversial', Treasurer says
Update: 2025-11-25
Description
Treasurer Jim Chalmers has said the government's request to federal departments and agencies to find further efficiencies is "not unusual or controversial."
Yesterday, Finance Minister Katy Gallagher did not dispute a report in the Australian Financial Review that the public service would need to find savings of as much as five per cent in a year.
It comes as economists are waiting for fresh inflation data to be published later today.
