Arrogant government has no interest in integrity

Which is worse, that Labor stored secret a report important of its personal — and its predecessors’ — predilection for appointing mates to public workplace for 2 years? Or that when it launched it, its response was a risible set of “ideas” that can do nothing to finish authorities cronyism?

Labor hadn’t been in energy lengthy when it commissioned former senior public servant Lynelle Briggs to evaluate the appointment course of for presidency boards. Maybe there was some dedication to integrity lingering from Labor’s three phrases in opposition, when it had talked an enormous sport on opposing cronyism and the politicisation of presidency appointments — the relentless stacking of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal with Coalition hacks and failed MPs, the appointment of Liberal apparatchik Phil Gaetjens to go the general public service and failed Liberal MP and WorkChoices advocate Sophie Mirabella to the Honest Work Fee — amongst many, many others.
