Peter Dutton has vowed to cut overall government spending if elected to government, reiterating his plans to scale back the public service.

Labor has called on the opposition leader to reveal the details of his plan, warning that fewer public servants would mean longer wait times to access services.

Mr Dutton said he would not detail exactly where the spending cuts would come from until after the federal election.

In the words of the Liberal party… “If you don’t know. Vote No!” So kindly f-off Mr Potato-head.

The coalition literally does this every election. “Trust us, we’re better economic managers” is all they say. No specifics, then when they win they gut services used by people they don’t like, aka health, education and welfare services.

Never forget the 2014 liberal budget.

It’s as if he knows that it’d be a whitewash if the voters knew what he intended.

It’s as if the Liberal Party studied at the US election and forgot to look at how their citizens, and the world for that matter, are reacting afterwards. We know what an efficiency department looks like now.
