Union warns of lasting damage from Budget 2026
<p>While everyone counts the dollars and tries to make sense of Budget 2026 – there are thousands of public servants staring down losing their jobs.</p> <p>In her pre-Budget speech, Finance Minister Nicola Willis announced plans to slash the sector by about 8,700 roles by mid-2029.</p> <p>The overhaul will also include reducing the number of government departments and increasing the use of AI.</p> <p>The Public Service Association says the changes will further decimate public services, at a time when workers are already stretched to breaking point.</p> <p>So, is this really about efficiency or is it just shrinking the state and hoping services will hold together? </p> <p>Today on The Front Page, Public Service Association national secretary Fleur Fitzsimons is with us to talk about what happens next. </p> <p>Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.</p> <p>You can read more about this and other stories in the New Zealand Herald, online at nzherald.co.nz, or tune in to news bulletins across the NZME network.</p> <p>Host: Chelsea Daniels<br>Editor/Producer: Richard Martin<br>Producer: Jane Yee</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
