The Palaszczuk Labor government has replaced the number of public servants sacked under former premier Campbell Newman more than twice over.
The latest workforce figures show there are over 30,000 more full-time equivalent employees in the Queensland public sector than the Newman government had in December 2014.
Premier Annastasia Palaszczuk says she is restoring “frontline services”, adding the new “frontline staff” will be making differences every day by keeping communities safe and ensuring Queenslanders can access health services quickly.
