Does he really think this will garner him more votes

Is Mise, "It's about time that many more Government departments were relocated in a burst of real decentralization"

Well said. Agree with your comment on smaller places too.

Astounded that SteeleRedux, Foxy and others are not jubilant at the prospect of providing much needed employment for indigenous in country towns.

Why isn't the central office of the Department of Veterans' Affairs located in a country town?

It has no clients, those residing in the ACT are handled by the NSW office.

From the 2015-16 annual report DVA has 639, six hundred and thirty-nine staff sitting in Canberra, 'managers' and 'coordinators', who could do their jobs from anywhere. Doesn't DVA claim excellence in doing its business online and for umpteen years?

Why wasn't The Hon. Dan Tehan MP, Minister for Veterans Affairs leading the charge to the country?

Foxy,

What did the tax office in Sale do? All taxes are centrally assessed and reviewed, and the local tax office cannot answer any queries directly.

Shadow Minister,

You miss the point.

It's what they could of done. The same applies to any
government agency being moved to the bush.
What will they done?

My apologies for the bad grammar in the previous post.

It should read - it's not what they did or did not do -
it's what they should and could have done.
Otherwise what's the point of moving them to the bush
in the first place?
