Hi ttbn,
"The election of Javier Milei as President looks like a good idea but, like everywhere, including Australia, you can change the politicians but not the bureaucrats."

Yes, some of these career bureaucrats that remain no matter which government is in power are a part of the problem.
- Politically biased and pulling the strings in the background.
From what I understand many people in the Public Service are Labor supporters.

I hate to break it to you, but Javier Milei is another one of Klaus Schwabs WEF initiates.
(was he really chosen, or installed?)
He's also the first Jewish President, an economist and apparently, a former Tantric sex coach.

Paul goes on as though Pezzullo was some sort of Liberal plant. But the fact (sorry to use words you don't understand Paul!) is that Pezzullo was very much a Labor appointee. His big break came when he was appointed to Gareth Evans' staff way back when and Evans considered him a friend.

He also saw meteoric rise during the Rudd-Gillard-Rudd clown show period. He may have committed the crimes of which he is now accused during the Liberl tenure but he was very much a public servant to however was paying his bills at the time.

Paul writes "Australians have always though[t] of those employed in the public service as working in the interest of all Australians".
Wow, how naive can you be? The Australian public service has always worked for the benefit of the Australian public service and that's not nearly the same thing.

The PS is centred around the Canberra bubble. In the recent referendum, it was the only state/territory that voted 'Yes' showing how out of touch with real Australians it is.

Talking about the PS service working for the benefit of Australians, the recent Robodebt RC has recommended further investigations/charges/sanctions against 16 public servants who acted unethically, or illegally or incompetently during the Robodebt saga. The government has accepted the Robodebt RC recommendations and will move away from the regime that led to its implementation. And their solution to the problem? Employ 3000 MORE public servants to paper over the gaps.

See how it works? The public service screws up big time and we end up with more public servants. Sir Humphrey would approve.

Working for the benefit of Australians or working for the benefit of the Public Service?

Pezullo served both Labor and Coalition governments at
that time, but it was under the Coalition that he acquired
a bureaucratic stronghold.

Its too much for our conservatives, ttbn wants to deflect to Argentina, he should go and live there. mhaze bangs on about the Canberra bubble and wants to deny that Pezzullo was a Liberal Party love child . One thing is for certain, in its time in office the Noalition attempted to politicise the PS as much as it could. Robodebt, is clear evidence of the senior bureaucrats knowingly acting outside the law to put into practice the political philosophy of the Noalition; "Screw the poor and disadvantaged."

Thanks Foxy, Pezzullo was part of Morrison's inner sanctum, which included PS flunkies and lackeys. Good, the grub can't take a huge golden handshake, he's been sacked, the new "law" about payout to grubs came into force last week.

Attaboy Paul. Ignore the facts and continue the propaganda.

Pezzullo got to where he was because he was trusted and promoted by the ALP. Campbell, the main PS behind Robodebt, was a Gillard appointment.

But why am I talking facts with Paul. I may as well talk nuclear fission with my parrot.
