Since coming to office in 2007, Rudd and Gillard have increased the Federal "Green workforce" by 75% .. and there are now more than 23,000 bureaucrats employed nationally by taxpayers to "oversee" our growing "green-tape" burden. This figure is set to grow further as the six new government departments that oversee the Carbon tax "resource-up".
