Quite so, Perseus, but we could equally argue that, say, Tim Flannery is at the top of his field. Do you think he'd have given the same advice as chief scientist? They choose those whose opinions suit them best.

Flannery is a Paleontologist who has spent most of his life looking backwards. A luddite in drag is hardly a wise choice when selecting someone to drive the bus into the future. He has long since made the switch to pure politics and appears to have difficulty distinguishing opinion from fact. Batterham or Bugs Bunny? Not a taxing choice.

Australians have turned a blind eye to the ethics and the authenticity of their representatives in the public service sector and have allowed the system to be bogged down with deceipt and lack of transparency.

Our Government representatives continually shift the blame and as stated in this article suppress the truth.

If our government representatives were in the real world they would be sacked.
