ACT campaigning to halve number of Government departments, and limit Jobseekers’ spending
ACT plan to merge, or close, more than half of Government departments

ACT resurrect their Thanos doom plan where David snaps his fingers and he makes half the functioning State disappear.
Isn’t the double standard of media coverage amazing?
Greens get attacked for wanting to tax billionaires and that is described as ‘Economic Lunacy’, yet Seymour claims to cut the state in half and there is zero media attention.
If we are just making up Right Wing Performance Art, let’s go all in.
Why not a Temple to Milton Friedman where the sacrifice of virgins shipped in from the International market occur annually as a Public Holiday for people worth over $5million in assets?
As for this…
limiting what beneficiaries can spend money on.
…isn’t it weird that a Party which screams about Nanny State now wants to tell poor people what they can and can’t buy?
The schizophrenic political hypocrisy is as staggering as the media’s double standards.
If Seymour wants less government he should start with himself and Act for wasting tax payers money.
Its a hilarious how the right complain about a left wing media and how biased it is.
Our media is another controlling arm of our plutocracy so of course they want small government and are terrified of any move to tax and make them contribute more or changing the strictly enforced free market and donor investment from controlling government policy.
We can’t have the public accountable media supporting the Greens plans.
That old term ” radical ” gets rolled out every time anyone suggests polices that curb our unregulated capitalist system.
Michelin stars and soccer are far more important than the cut , slash and burn of the public service by any government ACT is part of in coalition.
Having a large number of cabinet ministers for such a small parliament serves only to help the PM control his caucus by having more people inside the tent than outside. I don’t mind a smaller government.
On the other hand, being election year, its time to unduely bash the beneficiaries again. Seymour, in doing so, forgets that surely unemployment is the fault of government. It is elected governments responsibility to ensure the needs of our citizens and our society at large are met. One of those is the right to employment and if government does not ensure that, then they are responsible for meeting the needs of the unemployed and should not be interfering in how beneficiaries choose to spend their money
