You have to hunt for it, but the APS policy is now on the Coalition website. You can find it here.

It has obviously been retooled, but there is one line that jumps out immediately if you have been following this closely (like I have)

“We will achieve reductions by focusing on Canberra roles that are not frontline”

OK, but how? It doesn’t actually make sense. Because if you are relying in natural attrition to do your cuts over five years, than you can’t just wait for people in Canberra to quit their jobs. Because looking at the data, the separation rates – which is a fancy way of saying people quitting – is HIGHER outside of Canberra. So there are more people working in the public service who quit the public service outside of the ACT as a general rule. And if you are not touching national security, which is based in Canberra, HOW EXACTLY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
