Reported at www.themandarin.com.au: The Coalition plans to end flexible work arrangements for Australian public servants if elected, arguing that such policies undermine productivity and public service.

Jane Hume, the Coalition’s public service spokesperson, reiterated the need for all public servants to return to the office five days a week, while existing flexible work agreements remain in place until they expire in 2027.

The announcement aligns with a global trend of reinstating office attendance amid concerns over productivity and workplace engagement.
