A deceptive headline

The headline (note journalists do not write the headlines) makes you think DPMC is sacking one third of their staff.

The actual story further down is:

A broad restructure of the 247-strong Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet (DPMC) is under way, a spokesperson has confirmed, and it is proposed that 77 existing jobs ‒ 57 occupied, 20 vacant ‒ be disestablished, but 65 new roles created.

The organisation’s total headcount will therefore drop by 12 people.

So 12 out of 247 is a 5% reduction in staff numbers, and with 20 vacancies in fact not a single person may lose their job.

Very different to the vibe from the headline.
