The "task force" that was commissioned to pronounce the success of the BER has been exposed as an elaborate Labor sham. Even the final report was released late on Friday night before the NSW election, so that its implications would be overshadowed.

Gillard has reverted to form, it not bad enough that her pet project is a disaster, but that she has to resort to subterfuge to hide the extent of the incompetence.

all parties hide info in the backpages
its a black art of the two party system

im still searching
for what the heck 'ber' means
as the page is still trying to load
what is the "ber planning"..that it needs hiding

""THE federal government-appointed taskforce
into the $16.2 billion schools stimulus program "misinterpreted" data to conclude the scheme had achieved value for money in state schools, a Senate inquiry has found.""

a task/fotrce says
its only 16 billion
well and truelly spent

""The final Senate committee report..found there was *insufficient evidence to conclude the objective of stimulus had been achieved.""

ok so one body says its great
another says its not

""It also raised significant concerns
that the government failed to provide it with necessary information to determine whether funding had been used inappropriately""

well thats not unique to this govt
thats standard protocol
from the public service advizers

who also would have advised them to hide it


""The 70-page report from the opposition-controlled
Senate inquiry was tabled after 10pm.""

*sop..[standard operating practice]

""The committee noted concern with the collapse of "a number of companies" who were subcontracted to deliver BER projects in NSW.""

subcontracors
[shelf companies that go bust]
well thats criminal

get the money back from the main contracter's
or procicute those who allocated the funds negligently
[incompetantly]

expand the enquiry
name and shame

""key aspects of program..achieved the overarching aim
of supporting 120,000 jobs during the GFC.""

who's jobs
public servants?
sub-contracters?

how come govt
dont pay sub contracters...*direct?

this idea of cutting out govt...as middleman
isnt cutting out..the middle man after all

we been conned ...*again
as usual

UOG,

The issue is the blatant fraud of setting up a "task force" to investigate the value for money for the electorate, when the task force was primed to deliver the verdict that Labor wanted irrespective of the actual information.

The second deception is that when this comes to light to post the results at 10pm just before the NSW state election in order to cover up the results.

This is the Labor spin machine all over again. Federal Labor is no different from NSW state Labor.

PS

The second greatest cover up is the censoring of the business report of the NBN and the refusal to allow it to be evaluated.

Actually the biggest political coverup was the terms and conditions of the US Free Trade Agreement we signed that will stuff up our health, beef, and energy sectors for many years to come. The full impact of that treacherous political fiasco is yet to be revealed to the public.

wobbles...yep and the free trade backstory will probably never see the light of day.

SM would be horrified if he really knew some of the stuff his 'team' got up to during the Howard era. He doesn't want to know and if he already does he doesn't care, it is all the sport of knocking the 'opposition' regardless of content.

Yes I am almost certain the ALP has been guilty of cover ups, dodgy deals, lack of transparency, sealing up documents, not placing sensitive documents on formal records (in adherence with record keeping/governance), incompetence etc etc.

But you can easily replace the Coalition with 'ALP' above and get more of the same.

Work in Federal Government for a few years and you will be just as cynical and see just how far the rot has set in.
