Inquiry confirms consulting giants are milking the APS dry

The Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU) says a parliamentary inquiry has exposed the big multinational consulting firms for milking the public services dry. “The scrutiny comes at the same time as departmental submissions to the Turnbull Government’s APS Review have confirmed the Government’s illogical cap on Commonwealth staffing numbers is driving costly outsourcing to consulting firms and through contractors and labour hire arrangements,” says CPSU.
