The NSW Labor Government continues to have excellent form as it lurches from one ridiculous proposal and crisis and onto the next proposal/crisis.
The pixels had barely settled on John Lee's electronic announcement assuring better service and value via 13 Super Departments than the wheels began falling off.
This plan to amalgamate is touted as a huge reform in the public sector. All it really is something akin to a Cecil De Mille epic scene of a grand disaster: simultaneously rearranging deck chairs on many sinking ships.
One more sign of serious dissent comes from the Rural Fire Service's revolt at being merged after seeking reassurances that they would be left untouched. The Sun Herald's Lisa Carty indicates that Phil Koperberg has fired a shot across Nathan Rees' bow, and that three other ministers are disgruntled at the lack of consultation over this "super-reform": Paul Lynch, David Borger, and Graham West. Read Lisa's article (here).
The restructure simply creates more red-tape, increases a top-heavy bureaucracy, and contrary to all rhetoric does not release employees from tedious and irrelevant tasks to serve the public.
The Government and its minders are beholden to a scavanger culture of advisors who speak the dialect of management-speak, and spawn spin doctor propaganda. This is truly a clueless government, and its senior executive service corps is riddled with sycophants and power-hungry self-serving political creatures.

There used to be 8 wonders of the ancient world. Here we have the twenty-first centuries monument to excessive stupidity: the NSW Labor Government's deck-chairs overboard reforms and the bilge-water of sycophants who think the NSW public is dumb.
ReplyDeleteNo need for an emergency unit to try and revive the patient called NSW -- better to call in the coroner and CSI team to establish which Labor policies led to the death of the state.
