Opposition Leader Angus Taylor has fired off a brutal attack on public servants at a closed-door event in Brisbane, in his strongest indication yet of a Coalition plan to slash the APS.
"Wasteful bureaucracy has to go," Mr Taylor told potential donors at a small business forum in Brisbane on Thursday.
"I've been fighting it all my frigging life, and I hate it with a passion ... We have agencies across government right now that do not serve the Australian people the way they should. They serve themselves."
