The myth of governmental
competence  by Bernard Keane

'we found 29 examples of serious criticism of Howard Government programs from the auditors, where they laid into the way programs were run or policies were implemented, not just for poor filing or not having KPIs identified right from the outset, but for errors that cost substantial amounts of taxpayer money.
Some were, in the scheme of things, not that important. The guns buyback scheme — probably John Howard’s finest moment — was rushed so quickly that millions of dollars ended up being spent buying weapons that were already illegal, from people who should have faced prosecution rather than been given compensation. The private health insurance rebate was initially set up so that people were able to double-claim millions of dollars. The Federation Fund was found to be entirely politicised in its administration by the Prime Minister’s own office. The $400m Plasma Fractionation program was badly administered by the Health Department.
But the Howard Government was repeatedly criticised for mismanagement on a much greater scale. The first tranche of the Telstra sale was badly underpriced, and it cost taxpayers $12b in 1997 dollars (the best part of $18b now). And the sale agency, the Office of Asset Sales and IT Outsourcing, didn’t even bother checking the invoices it got from high-priced sale consultants, and simply paid them, adding a huge premium to sale costs.
In fact, OASITO was ground-zero for mismanagement in the early years of the Howard Government. The agency was carved out of Finance and staffed by ideologues keen to implement the Government’s privatisation agenda, but they were so determined to flog Government assets they frequently botched it. For example, the sale of DASFLEET was badly bungled and led to litigation with Macquarie Bank that was still being resolved when the ANAO went back to do a follow-up audit on the debacle years later.'

In these days of government by opinion poll and focus group, neither Labor nor Coalition can be effective. They change course too often and lack much in the way of long (or medium or even short) term vision. Significant influence by groups and individuals with axes to grind (Greens, independents - even Nationals, if they wake up to the opportunities) might change that.

It's the way representative democracy is meant to operate. Labor and Coalition lost sight of that, leading to the outcome we now have.

The worst problem is Tony Abbott, who seems determined to force another election as soon as possible.

I mean never mind Labor they could produce effective either with a majority that thay HAD before or a minority which could be

===============================================

Ive done mine vegetable, Labors is the worst even seen so worse that they LOST there majority from it. and have been CRAWLING to power,

So Vegetmite HOW ABOUT THAT ?

You Dill Burnard Keane from crikey.com and you call that research

===============================================

But I guess Bwood, now we know why he has his ID as Davidbs, knowing what the BS stands for next to David.

A bit early in the day to be under the weather, isn't it?

Not at all under the weather, its quite a RIPPER

I think this nation has rung the 'Division Bell' to be quite honest.
Besides the fact that the Libs and Labs (be it right or left) have had their time ...they are 'free' to go back to the UK or USA if they like?

Many people say 'We' are becoming more like America each day, but in truth, we are ...but into the American 'Past', as they are ours.

So I think it is our best interests to 'Divide' and be 'divided'.
To break out from a Federal totalitarianism.
To fracture into Provincials where WE - THE PEOPLE, will be better represented and served by the Political Industry.
Sure we might have some little Wars here and there for want of a Civil war with the Union and its Eureka Flag.
But at least it is going forward for WE - THE PEOPLE and not for the best interests of the UK & USA to name a few.

"ding ...dong ...ding ...dong"

This whole election has been a farce from the start; and the farce continues.  Australia is rapidly becoming a laughing stock to the rest of the world.  If the electorate wanted Judas Dillard she'd be in office right now.  The Coalition won the election, but this county's voting system is a sham.

A Green/Labor/Independent Government won't last a year!

Back to the polls without anymore of this fannying around and being held to ransom by the three stooges; Labor or Coalition decisively!  

And I will pray it's not Labor......for Australia's sake!

they will get worse especially with this ALLIANCE with the greens 

===================

OH yes- bring on the old " Greens under your bed" fear campaign...


hey stryd's you and bwood may like a mid morning -brunch Schnapps... skool
