My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, 'Public Service efficiency dividend' is just budget-speak for job cuts. They are regrettable at any time and even more so in places like Hobart, where local economies are smaller and the effect of job loss is greater. Considering this, do you rule out further Public Service job cuts in Hobart or have you abandoned the government's 2014 plan to shift Public Service jobs from Canberra to places like Hobart?
