government, a third feel very negative. And in what is either a confusing result - or a sign that the way the government is going about job cuts has upset people - 48% of respondents said they accepted public service numbers had to be reduced but 56% of people said the cuts had negatively affected their support for the Newman Government. Paddy Barrs, 69, of Pelican Waters, said he was disgusted at the way the Premier was treating people and agreed with the general assessment that he was arrogant. "He comes across as a little Napoleon sailing across Europe thinking he's right on everything," he said. Mr Barrs was sceptical that Queensland's financial position was as bad as had been portrayed by Mr Newman and said the public service numbers could have been better reduced through natural attrition and voluntary redundancies.
