I've pulled together an article that brings together two very different thinkers talking about issues of relevance to the Prime Minister's reform of the civil service.

Eh. Bullshit jobs exist, no doubt. But the points mentioned in the article seem a bit askew -- even just the consultanty-vibe saying consultants are usually bullshit seems a bit off, though amusing.
I doubt the federal govt will be able to realistically cut just bullshit jobs / structure job cuts in an efficient way. I've spoken to managers in the public service before, and they've whined that it takes like 2 years to fire someone who's not doing their job, with all the hoops that are required due to the union etc. I'm starting to wonder if Carney's govt will even last that long.
