I have waffled on about the rotten apples in the crate that is the Public Service ever since posting here.
And, who has been denouncing my posts ? Paul1405 & Foxy ! Now they’re still at it. I have long stated that blaming Govt is not right when the heavily Labor leaning outfit is hell-bent to sabotage everything a Coalition administration is trying to achieve. People seem to think it is incompetence. No, it is deliberate mismanaging to make the LNP look incompetent.
I challenge anyone to tell us that the Coalition Govt instructs the Public Servants to persecute & hound innocent members of the public.
Govt policies are never perfect simply because they can’t be because the constituent aren’t either. If higher ranking Public Servants were to be chosen on their loyalty to the Public Service instead of their Party things would run a lot better. We need people in those position who side with integrity instead of their unions !

Public servants are just that, servants of the people. They are not the servants of the political classes. The two should be working in partnership for the betterment of us all and be prepared to call out the missteps or excesses of the other.

We expect them to provide frank and fearless advice which is not politically massaged to make elected people look good and avoid scrutiny.

The politicisation of the public service gave us Robodebt.

I did support Danial Andrews on quite a few things but having him embrace a Kennett style control over the public service had me looking to seek another place to park my vote.

We really need to march back some of the right wing need to neuter the public service.

SteeleRedux,
No, the unionised middle ranks in the PS gave us Robodebt ! The top bureaucrats did not direct the hounding, that was done by bureaudroids with a sick sense of authority. The lower ranks had no say whatsoever.
I have done my own little survey over many years & I found that more than 80-90% of Public Servants are indeed Labor supporters ! So, to blame the Coalition for that inexcusable mess is the height of hypocrisy !

Indy, you are clueless, your hate for public servants is legendary. 'Robodebt' was instigated from the top, Coalition politicians through senior bureaucrats perpetuated an illegal scheme for political reasons, a scheme they knew to be illegal, they wanted to hound the most vulnerable in the community. You are such a fool, don't you know they would have eventually came after an old fart like you whose spent years and years, sucking off the taxpayer teat, through aged welfare. How long now 20 years, any tax you ever paid, highly unlikely, has been returned to you one hundred fold! Its old dead meat like you that's making thing unsustainable! Bring on a Seniors National Service. Surely you could do 20 hours a week, to earn your keep?

Robodebt.... read the RC conclusions Paul.

Paul1405,
When did I ever say it wasn’t ? It was the insensitive hounding that wasn’t instigated by the top. That was done by bureaudroids with your mentalty & going by the vindictive nature of your posts that’d be a fairly accurate assertion.

Regarding welfare, being old dead meat I’m still not as much of a burden to society than the likes of you salary sacrificing, negative gearing no use for society inepts. I’m at a loss why you haven’t brought your standard race card into this yet.
