IBob Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Depends on how they're doing their sums...after all, if it's PPSM (Porkies Per Square Mile), clearly Oz will have an advantage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Public sector 2014.? Maybe, but the direction is changing for the worse. Once the PS is politicised and can't give a straight answer, it's nowhere but down in credibility. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty_d Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 It ain't rocket science to know that, as a public figure, your OFFICIAL diary should be kept squeaky clean because it would be subject to FOI requests.

turboplanner Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I see you're"on message" with the former Attorney General's emotional call to arms in this morning's press. Not everything in everyone's diary is open to an FoI declaration, and Brandis is simply playing it safe by ensuring the AAT make the decision on what is required to be released. If Mark wants to be Prime Minister (and I would like to see that happen at some time in the future) he needs to settle his emotions and stop getting himself thrown out of the Chamber.

IBob Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm not so sure, it does show the poms as a dark yellow like p*ssholes in the snow. m...corruption...well, we are talking about human behaviors here, right? And anyone who's been to Oz will have observed there's huge tracts in the middle with not much human behaviour around. In fact, some might argue the same applies to some areas of the cities on some evenings of the week, too...but not me, of course! Still, I reckon the Oz picture is skewed: you'd expect it to be kinda blotchy...like pimples...down the right hand side there??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Koreelah Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 The chart is BS because it relies on an individuals or communities values of "corruption" where in real life those values change dramatically from culture to culture. Quite true. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/politics/the-one-map-which-shows-the-worlds-most-corrupt-countries-a6692976.html Corruption is endemic in Australia, but hidden under layers of Tax rules, PR and Newspeak. Those "in the know" can get away with outrageous financial rip-offs, leaving us mug taxpayers to pick up the bill. Meanwhile the Police too often "arrest the usual suspects". Our prisons are full of people with mental health issues or those raised in poverty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the UK they have a Home Secretary who thinks it's okay to brush a murder under the carpet rather than risk uspetting someone important who was probably linked to the murder: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jan/21/marina-litvinenko-alexander-murder-inquiry-report How can they be so stupid as not to see what a slippery slope political expediency is????

facthunter Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 It was never in doubt, but when a gangster runs a country It's the people of that country who should address the problem. That doesn't just apply to Russia. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
