## Resource

Labour is sounding the alarm over potential public sector job cuts, insisting frontline roles like border security and child exploitation units — which handle serious public risks — must be protected. While the government says police, teachers, and nurses are safe, it dodges specifics on other critical roles, claiming reviews are ongoing. Labour’s broad definition of “front-line” includes biosecurity, family violence programs, and more — yet many of these remain unconfirmed. The government insists it’s not targeting frontline work, but Labour accuses it of being dangerously vague — especially when it comes to jobs that safeguard public safety.
