The Greens want a 15% reduction in spending on consultants every year over 5 years. We’ve been calling for this since the 2023 PwC scandal. The Government still refuses to listen. Labor must break up & regulate the Big 4 & increase penalties for bad behaviour & ethical failures.

The ANAO’s audit reveals loopholes in the govt’s framework to curb outsourcing core work. Even when targets were in place & apparently ‘met’, government spending still increased. Without controls, it’s tokenism. We need real measures to cut government reliance on outsourcing.

Labor's spend on KPMG has nearly doubled from $32 mil in 2024-25 to $59 mil in 2025-26. Labor has been watching a repeat of scandals & still hasn’t delivered meaningful reform. The temporary month-to-month freeze on KPMG is nothing but a pathetic, tokenistic punishment.
