Indy be honest, you're are not all that interested in punishing the offenders, but rather with your fixation of public service bashing you see an opportunity to attack people who more than often are simply doing their job.
Of course any PS who involves themselves in criminal activity should be prosecuted like any other. When you say "We should also fine those who cause (the) loopholes", how ridiculous, the law is the responsibility of politicians, not public servants. The so called loopholes are often cases of fraud and theft.

BTW, you have the opportunity to vote for those you perceive as being of your liking at election time.

That election Paul may not be three years away
Government is not going to prime the pumps and unemployment will rise
The financial crisis we pretend is not coming is here
Our personal debt has never been higher
In such crisis the heat comes of the unemployed and on to government
Betting on an early election
Indy, not sure how to handle your obsession with all things public service
But do know not every one of them is useless

politicians, not public servants
Paul1404,
Politicians ARE public servants too but mostly in a figure head capacity.
Many senior bureaucrats are deliberately leaving loopholes so they can exploit them. Many Public Servants simply go along with what benefits them & to a lesser extent, the Public.
It sounds ok when people say "not all public servants are guilty of not really doing their job" but when you're looking at 6 out of 10 it does look concerning. I'm using those figures from my own observations, others will disagree but I wouldn't expect any different from them !
Included in those figures is the usefulness factor of many PS. There's even a thread here at present re the Robodebt fiasco.

Well we have had our run, not sure it is worth continuing
But indy, think with me on this, if our politicians are the problem what does it say about voters who put them there?

what does it say about voters who put them there?
belly,
It tells me that the voters aren't any better than the politicians !

The biggest fraud is negative gearing ! Will they consider ending that ?
