NSW:Big job cuts to NSW public service: report

SYDNEY, Aug 11 AAP - Thousands of public servants face losing their jobs in a slash-and-burn
NSW budget made tighter by the global share meltdown, News Ltd reported on Thursday.

The NSW Department of Primary Industries is facing cuts to its budget of up to 25 per
cent while one in three jobs in NSW Health's head office are at risk, according to The
Daily Telegraph.

The cuts are part of a $30 million trim flagged by NSW Treasurer Mike Baird and Finance
Minister Greg Pearce in the state government's first budget on September 6, the paper
said.
