Still, 10k public servants is a very high ratio of govt to non-govt workers.
Should be able to run the place with 1000 public servants, imo.

you might want to look at becoming a consultant. they would pay you well if they could save all that money on wages  ;)

edit: i think newscorp are doing what they do so well:

says there were 1720 public servants in the NT in 2005. i didnt think twice about their figure. it always seemed to me that every second person i met in darwin was a public servant. i guess i kind of am too now. im a postie in brisbane  ;D

Robbbert:
The figures on that gov site seems more in line with what i'd expect.

I'd regard the Post Office as a govt-owned company, much like the water board or electricity mob.

Not really part of the public service.

Also, i'd hope they don't call the Tax Office a public service. They are more of a public nuisance. :D
