The party has also walked away from sacking 41,000 public servants and instead will rely on natural attrition.

“I think if you think back to Peter Beatty’s leadership, I think one of his attributes, which I admired at the time, was that if you get it wrong as a leader, fess up, throw your hands up, admit that you’ve got it wrong and explain why.”

“And then you can move on,” the Opposition Leader commented.
