NSW Greens Transport Spokesperson, Dr Mehreen Faruqi MLC, has said that the revelations that Roads and Maritime Services has considered an unprecedented level of outsourcing of roadwork and road design, potentially compromising public safety, is deeply concerning. The information was revealed in a ‘call for papers’ motion initiated by Dr Faruqi three weeks ago.
“I am deeply concerned by this draft report that suggests the Government will undertake an unprecedented level of outsourcing within Roads and Maritime Services
“The WestConnex documents also reveal what many in the public service have already been telling me, that the Roads and Maritime Services intends to shed 30% more of its workforce in the coming three years.
“This is the next stage in the O’Farrell’s ideological attack on the public service.
