Well said Perseus,

"Does anyone seriously think the Health Department is the only one with an entrenched culture of corruption, incompetence and vindictiveness?"

It seems that Peter Beatty has been taking lessons from our Bob Carr.Now according to Bob,Peter had large portion of NSW GST.Now where's it all gone Peter?

Would someone tell us why Labor Govts cannot manage finances or allow the private sector to run unhindered? Surely they have economic advisors who can give them sound constructive advice.Is it just an inherent Labor flaw that naturally flows from socialists policies?They end up hurting the very people they profess to represent.Has Labor ever done a serious study on this matter,since it will put them in the wilderness for years to come if they don't?
