While frontline health workers are crying out for resources, public sector bosses are walking away with six-figure payouts— even when they fail.
These golden handshakes are bureaucratic back-handers at their worst. Taxpayer-funded farewell packages, legal settlements, and even private courses for disgraced officials are being dished out with zero accountability.
It’s time to change the law. Public servants paid more than Cabinet Ministers (c. $296,000pa) they should not be able to take unjustified dismissal claims against the Crown nor receive taxpayer-funded pay-outs to resign when they’ve done a bad job.
If senior public servants are to be paid the big bucks, they should accept the responsibility that comes with the role.

"I call on the Government to change the law and ban public sector bosses from being eligible for 'golden handshakes' or confidential payouts to get them to resign."
