Reality is the LNP is ideologically bent on reducing government and its services (while giving themselves and their donors ever more) and their main lever is the budget. If you reduce the budget enough sooner or later less will have to be done as a matter of fact.
Most agencies have line workers who are dedicated to serving us and resist, so ‘almost nothing’ stops being done because of their good will toward us rather than the pollies mandates. That cannot go on forever as there is more and more budget pressure hindering them.
Been there, experienced that.
