00:02After 15 years in the department now known as Building Tasmania, CPSU Delegate Tanya
00:08says she's never seen so much distress in her workplace.
00:12Devastated is an understatement. There is a great deal of concern about what that future holds.
00:20111 employees have already taken voluntary redundancies. About 150 more jobs are going.
00:27It's really distressing to be supporting members who are being given this devastating news and still facing weeks of uncertainty.
00:38The Public Sector Union accusing the government of drip feeding information about exactly which jobs will be cut.
00:45Staff had been told more information would arrive today.
00:48What they received was around 80 organisational charts showing the department's new structure,
00:55but not a firm list of who was going. Consultation is now open for two weeks.
01:02It's going to take many hours to actually work out what is happening here and again what we see is
01:07just a lack of clarity.
01:08I ask everybody to keep an open mind to what we are trying to achieve here and work through it
01:14with us.
01:14The Minister's confidence slashing jobs is the right path.
01:17We work very hard to make sure and adjust what we do as we need to do it on a
01:22daily basis and that's part of governing.
01:24With $6 billion of debt, the government needs to repair the budget and says spending cuts is the best way.
01:31These job cuts won't be the last. The government's eyeing off a total reduction of 1,700 jobs by 2030.
01:39It would be far more sensible to make big corporations, to make mining companies, to make salmon companies,
01:44to make the gambling companies pay their fair share than to make public servants, you know, cop it in the
01:50neck.
01:52If cuts are the way, the Greens say the billion dollar stadium spend might be the place to start.
01:58I can't force this work because they are the most spas.
01:58I can't force you on the ground so I don't put them on the ground except for their business i
01:59am pumped because it is in много.
01:59I'm trying to take a hard time. It's important to make public servants and understand how they do that and
01:59know not that.
01:59It took me a moment to 1509 s to 24 minutes before they didn't put all sorts of slackness to
02:00get.
02:00So just as hearing is-called simple when I were very visual and I was thinking about it.
02:00I'm really anxious to have simple enough elements to build thataba on the ground.
