Hey demor, there's another 300 spinners on the books since that last article.
The federal government’s ”army” of spin doctors and communications staff has grown to more than 1900, based on data supplied by departments and agencies.
An analysis of answers to questions on notice supplied to a Senate committee shows staffers in government media, communications and marketing operations have increased by several hundred in two years and could be costing taxpayers as much as $190 million a year…
Senator Abetz, in opposition in 2012, railed against the ”battalion” of communications workers when numbers hovered around the 1600 mark, alleging the figures highlighted the Gillard government’s ”concentration on spin”.
