Hi Paul,

Well, I guess that's understandable under the circumstances.

I'm afraid I don't understand your consistent
negative references to the public service.
Where would we be without it?
Foxy,
When did I ever complain about the Public Service ? My gripes is with the many Public Servants who aren't doing what they get very well paid for !
Where would we be without them ? In less debt for sure !

So Indy, what have we being paying you to do for all these years, sit on your arse!

indyvidual,

Those who aren't doing what they're paid to do -
usually don't last very long or get promoted.
Not all public servants are bad. There's good
and bad in any work place.

Foxy,
I never stated that they were all bad, it's just that the decent & conscientious ones are a minority.
The not so good ones usually have to get promoted as that is the only way to move them on.
It's indeed a sad show that poorly performing bureaucrats can't be moved sideways or even down & that's the cause of so much unfair treatment of decent folk by these selfish droids !
If all bureacrats were as good as you'd have us believe Current Affairs & 7.30 report, 4 Corners etc couldn't exist !

I thought these documentaries focused on the
exceptions not the rules of what was happening
in our societies in order to draw attention and
try to correct the behaviour of people. You may
not have said that all public servants are bad -
you also did not make it clear that there are some
excellent ones. In any case I am glad to hear
that you're not condemning them all.
Good to know.
