Whitlam Oct 1975 “...the question is whether any duly elected reformist government will be allowed to govern in the future? What is at stake is whether the people who seek change and reform are ever again to have confidence that it can be achieved through the normal parliamentary processes” #auspol

In case it wasn’t clear… while I did think the new BOM website is crap, I was mostly mad at the shitty results the APS gets when it outsources work to the consultancy firms.

20 years ago the govt departments had in-house IT capability. I don’t think it’s a silver bullet, but if they fixed the role definitions so they could pay at market rates for IT staff, they could build and retain an effective IT workforce.

(For anyone not familiar with the problem, IT staff have to move into the ‘Executive Levels’ to get paid at market rates. And then the APS gets shitty that they have teams full of EL1s.)

Barnaby keeps saying he's a free agent. I wonder how the constituents of New England feel about this?
I've seen how it affects Barnaby, how it affects the Nats, how it affects the Coalition, and how it affects One Nation.
What about the voters of New England?
