COMMENT, NSW — Today the NSW government release the mini-budget. ABC have it here.
A patch/hatchet job to make up for years of fundamental neglect.
The 3 Amigos: Carr, Iemma, Costa.
Neglect under Bob Carr (especially), Morris Iemma & on to Nathan Rees.OK, Nathan hasn’t had a chance yet.
A special word goes to the spectacularly self-aggrandising Michael Costa. Costa managed to leave fingerprints 3 inches deep on several disastrous portfolios.
Infrastructure.
In an economic & property boom, no funding was spent on:
1) Transport
2) Schools
3) Infrastructure
4) Urban Planning
5) Roads
6) Energy infrastructure.
Wasted opportunity.
Property Developers.
Instead, the whole process was outsourced to private sector, property developers.
The NSW State Government were warned by their own public service, about this.
I worked for the NSW State government & professionally heard incidents that made me cringe in NSW. I won’t speak about specifics.
In general, the public service system is politicised, privatised and ideologically broken.
There are frustrated intelligent individuals. But I can say the system they work in is grindingly inefficient. It kills innovation.
T actually be competent inside the NSW system is in many departments is unrewarding. Sometimes, impossible.
Ahoy, HMAS NSW.
Good people in Government don’t rock the boat.
And this boat is a sinking ship.
Fortunately, Sydney hit rock bottom in 2006 & 2007, and is now in the nascent stage of rebuilding.
The key issue is ethics. The government is focussed on personal interest, and money; not on the long-term good of the State. NSW could do with a few good Catholic Democrats.
And less left-wing atheist capitalists, who have no faith in their own ideology of the Left.
But as usual, recovery will require local innovation.
The NSW government don’t deserve their jobs. They are good for nothing.
If there was a case for oversight of politicians, this is it.
Do you live in NSW? Have you seen it’s recent decline… ?
There’s Dumb. Then there’s NSW.
