Dutton vows to axe 'diversity' jobs, welcome to country cash

Australian Community Media

Opposition leader Peter Dutton took another leaf from the Donald Trump playbook and vowed to axe cultural diversity jobs in the public sector if elected. More money would be spent on frontline services that make a difference, including doctors, national security and intelligence, Mr Dutton said. However, CPS Union national secretary Melissa Donnelly said staff with lived experience - such as people with a disability or Indigenous people - meant the government could better reflect the community and deliver essential services more effectively.

00:23social but economic benefits that flow. We can respect our Indigenous courage, we should be

00:28incredibly proud of it but we shouldn't shun our modern day miracle story. Migration in this

00:37country and the great migrant story particularly in the post-second world war era has been remarked.

00:44Sport business has thrived in this country because of the efforts that people have come from Europe,

00:50from Asia, from across the globe which will support with achieved success in the best

00:57days for this wonderful country, for the best country on earth will be ahead of us. Thank you very much.
