    The State of Victoria has paid $60 million dollars to do the work that bureaucrats were employed to do

    Victoria’s former chief traffic cop Keiran Walshe was paid $55,000 for his work on the Victorian Review of Counter-Terrorism Legislation.
    A WHOPPING $60 million was spent on consultants to advise Victoria’s justice department in the past financial year.
    The bulk of the huge consultants bill was spent on recruitment agencies and IT companies.
    Consultants for cost management and procurement, creating value for the public from government departments and digital branding, were all hired in 2013-14.
    The department racked up a bill of $61.4 million on consultants, of which $46 million was spent on Human Resources companies and $6.9 million on IT specialists. The bill was double the $29.2 million the department spent in 2013-14.


    Why do we pay two lots of people to do the same job?
