Transparent Failure.

Government

COMMENT, Melbourne — John Brumby’s Victorian government has tabled over 200 reports in one day according to The Age.

Avalanche of reports ‘a joke’

> 300 reports in 24 hours

The back-story is that Brumby complained about Kennett’s lack of transparency. And now he ‘one-ups’ Kennett.

Something to Hide?

Sure. Grand Prix losses. Failed environmental targets. Massive Treasury losses.

And bear in mind these reports are retrospective.

Immediately following a boom, such mediocre results indicate incompetence and a lack of management.

I’ve worked on government & corporate financial reports, so they’ll bury all the bad news in one set of reports. This is what politicians call ‘taking out the trash’.

The Bracks-Brumby government is widely perceived by Victorians to have squandered record Stamp Duty & Property tax receipts.

And despite the spin, Brumby has not delivered:

  • Schools.
  • Hospitals.
  • Trains.
  • Trams.
  • Other Services.

The public is growing in frustration with New Labor Blair-ite spin.

What’s your thoughts? Are you happy with Brumby?
