Reference :- Peta Credlin wants to make us angry again . This time about the way the public service has grown outrageously in Queensland and Victoria . Both Labor states .

Reference :-   Peta Credlin  waved a " report " at us which apparently reveals that the Queensland government employs 100,000 more public servants now than it did 5 years ago.   She neglected to tell us the source of the report , which is  shame , since it doesn't coincide with figures on the government website .

Good morning from Queensland Peta .   And good morning to your fellow anchor Rita Panahi too . I see you have interviewed her  again . Sky News seems to spend a lot of time interviewing it's own reporters .  Be careful, or you might end up working in an echo chamber where the only opinions you hear are your own .   When you get a moment , could you flick me the reference for that piece of paper you waved ?   I have searched high and low and can't find where 100, 000 new leeches on the public purse are hiding .   

Did you notice that both Queensland and Victoria have the fastest population growth in the country ?  By a big margin too . I guess that might explain the need for more health practitioners and teachers and so on , which is where the increase in staff has mostly occurred .   But your figure still seems a tad inflated . By tad I mean over 70,000.   I hope you weren't  relying on Angus Taylor for your statistics . He made a right royal stuff up with that figure he quoted for the Sydney Council's  annual travel bill .
 It is a mystery to me the way all the economists  running the LNP  keep getting their figures wrong. Thank heavens that isn't reflected in the overall health of the economy , is all I can say .
 By the way , my son Ken junior sends his regards . Also , he was wondering what ever happened to that story about the asylum seeker who injected palm oil into ....himself  .  He is disappointed that the story has vanished from the air so soon  , and can't stop wondering if it will come up again .

Your comrade , Ken
