KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Small Business) (15:18):</by>  We expect all agencies to meet their efficiency dividends and, if they're offering voluntary redundancies to their staff, it's their right. People have a choice; they don't have to take them and it's up to them whether they take those redundancies. I'll say this: we're not the ones who had secret plans to sack 25,000 public servants: it was the opposition.</text>
