ACT Party MP Todd Stephenson shares his thoughts on Minister Judith Collins’ proposed reforms to the Public Service Act—chief among them, removing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) requirements in favour of merit-based appointments. Stephenson welcomes these changes as part of the ACT-National Coalition’s push for performance-driven governance, while also calling for more critical evaluation of top public service leadership. He defends colleague Brooke van Velden’s strong stand against misogynistic attacks in Parliament and touches on pay equity reform, arguing for a return to equal pay for equal work.
