What is the immediate impact of the Coalition's revised public service reduction plan, and how does it affect their fiscal goals?

The Australian Coalition party announced a revised plan to reduce the public service headcount by offering voluntary redundancies, aiming for \$7 billion in annual savings. This replaces an earlier proposal to cut 41,000 jobs, instead relying on attrition and a hiring freeze. The change allows faster reduction but incurs redundancy payout costs.
