The Alliance eliminated the Alliance in just one day, revising its policy to cut public services again, improving the prospect of employees being “relocated” nationwide to fill regional roles.

Voters may want to now have a clear understanding of how liberal national governments manage state public services. More than 7.5 million people voted before Saturday’s poll, and Peter Dutton’s policy costs were public.

But in Friday's final match against voters, shadow treasurer Angus Taylor revealed new elements of the plan.

He said the Dutton administration would “relocate” workers as he confirmed that the coalition’s cuts would “focus on Canberra”.

“Natural loss is everywhere, but we will properly move people to meet the needs of regional and frontline services,” Taylor said.

“We will migrate to people around us to make sure we keep the numbers in regional areas.”

Taylor released its final budget number Thursday, which includes details about the federal plan to cut the federal workforce by 41,000 positions within five years.

Aiming to realize a budget savings worth $17.2 billion, the cuts will come from jobs in Canberra and be delivered through recruitment freezes and natural loss, leaving 5,000 vacancies.

The coalition said the cuts would exclude defense agencies and "front-line services."

Dutton initially promised to immediately revoke 41,000 hirings, but was forced to abandon that promise after the rebound.

Labor and coalition disagree with the founder of bureaucracy size. The government cited data from the Australian Public Service Commission, showing about 70,000 employees nationwide.

Opposition public service spokesmen, Taylor and Jane Hume, used the figures 110,000, taken from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, including defense personnel.

The proposal to move work out of Canberra is reminiscent of the decentralization agenda of the Abbott Toembour Morrison administration, when a National Party promoted public service work and institutions, including agricultural and veterinary chemical regulators, relocated to the region.

The Australian Pesticide and Veterinary Administration has suffered from serious cultural and labor problems since relocating to New England voters in 2016.

Joyce said that if the league wins the election, the league should re-establish its efforts.

Asked whether the loss of Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide’s Jobs fits the league’s current plans, Taylor said the service would be “outside Canberra”.

Analysis by Australian Guardians shows that the alliance will not be able to reduce public services without cutting the frontline, defense and national security-related work.

APSC figures show that 11,782 employees left the federal bureaucracy in 2024, with 6,665 per cent or 57 per cent coming from the Ministry of the Interior and Defense, the Australian Tax Office and Australia.

Most of the employees who leave each year come from frontline or basic jobs, partly because four agencies make up 48% of the total number of jobs.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese repeated the comparison with Queensland Prime Minister Campbell Newman's administration on Friday. Between 2012 and 2015, about 14,000 civil servants were fired in the state.

Labor believes that Newman's turmoil in his term is still toxic in the minds of voters.

Taylor insisted on Friday that the league's plan was clear from the outset.
