The Prime Minister had told striking public servants they should be at work. 10,000 public service workers are set to walk off the job next week. The public service minister has called the strikes politically motivated - a claim the union rejects. While a newly-released letter has revealed the number of agencies that could be cut, the government's kicked that til after the election. Political reporter Giles Dexter reports.
