The analysis examined 974 appointments to the AAT and its precursors since 1996. It used publicly available information to determine whether those people had ever worked for a political party. This included elected representatives, advisers, party officials, candidates and people who had run for preselection.
“The new members spoke of being given an application form from their accountant and/or of having someone in the Liberal Party sponsor them,” the former member said. While there were “professional, capable, and efficient decision-makers both with and without known affiliations”, they had also observed political appointees who couldn’t use computers, find relevant legislation, and “continue to struggle with concepts that are quite basic to anyone with some experience in administrative law”, leading to a higher workload for staff and other members and a worsening of the AAT’sThe analysis found political appointees were increasingly likely to be made senior...

The Coalition will be either broken or transformedOPINION: Whoever wins, Labor will have adopted most of the Coalition’s economic and security policies and the Coalition will be either broken, or at least, transformed into something very different. “OPINION: Whoever wins, Labor will have adopted most of the Coalition’s economic and security policies” Most of their policies are copy & pasted from the Coalitions but just cost more. How much more is still to see, as they haven’t tabled costings yet. Will need a generation, let all the bad blood disappear entirely.

Albanese hits out at ‘tension’ in Liberal partyIt’s called robust discussion. Albo only says what the mean girls say he can. Marles, shorten and Dreyfus have clearly been told to stay quiet. Albo is a fraud on every level (and as an aside, makes me puke 🤮) SO WHICH ONE OF THE LYING RORTING CORRUPT MORRISON GOV GRUBS IS GOING TO PUT AN ARM AROUND MORRISON AND SAY HES AMBITIOUS FOR HIM..LOL..WHILE HAVING MATES STAB HIM IN THE BACK...THE DISCINTIGRATION OF THE LNP IS ALMOST APON US Well, I reckon Albos not far off. The coalition is a bit of a malfunction junction at the moment. Dutton has unfinished business from a previous lunge. Wouldn’t trust him. Frydenberg touch and go.
