Taxpayer money is wasted on services delivered to fit the artificial boundaries of departments and their ministers, rather than centred on the people, communities and businesses they are supposed to serve. This is the fundamental problem and an arbitrary plan to reduce the number of departments to 12 does not fix it. It just makes bigger silos.

Just fund our damn government for fuck sake. They arent inefficient they arent wasteful. They deliver very cost effective services and create good jobs in the process.
