Barbara Pocock was dissatisfied with the Senate's consulting services final report so she added 22 recommendations. The SA senator told The Mandarin she believed the issues of government overreliance on private consulting exposed by the inquiry demanded a total structural revamp of how the APS did business and urgent reform of the consulting services industry.

About us
The Mandarin has been a trusted voice covering the Australian public sector for over two decades. With a readership of 1.9 million each year, it is an essential resource for those looking to improve policy making, having a pulse check on what is happening in the public sector, and analysing the business of government. We are deliberate in our content choices because we want to accurately reflect the essential, difficult, varied and sometimes thankless work performed by public servants (and those in organisations partnering with them). We promote transparency, equity, diversity, integrity and accountability but are not naive to the political, cultural and commercial pressures faced by bureaucrats and policymakers. We are always on the side of public servants trying to do the right thing.
