Did you know that public affairs was targeted in the Budget? ...to the tune of $43.3 million over four years? Heres the text: *** Communications and Public Affairs Functions — targeted savings Expense ($m) 2013-14 2014-15 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 Various Agencies - -5.3 -10.5 -10.5 -10.6 The Government will achieve savings of $43.3 million over four years by moving to more efficient practices for public affairs and internal communications within Australian Government agencies. Consistent with the Governments election commitment that there will be no further cuts to Defence spending, savings from the Department of Defence of $6.4 million will be reinvested in Defence capability. This will contribute to streamlining the public sector and reducing staffing. The savings from this measure will be redirected by the Government to repair the Budget and fund policy priorities. *** Source: 2014 Budget Paper #2, page 113.
