The inherent dangers of office
- you will get what you want
- you will think you know enough to make decisions without advice
-you will cultivate those who itch your ears
- bureaubrats will clone to suit your every need - including invisible clothes should that be your fancy. For more on the invisible clothes of the planet click here
Anyone who has worked in the public service in a politically sensitive area ( say environment) knows how free speech and scientifically sound talk can disappear from the building entirely.
---At the time of writing this note (24th Nov 2009) ( to help explain why Rudd can get it so Wrong over ETS ; and the opposition liberal party seems unable to see the danger)there is a high percentage of career public servants across commonwealth and state who are hanging in there ready to retire;many of them survived the last 20yrs of politicization by either not saying what they think, or because they were offered a job to do what somePC correct someone thinks is a very good idea .Leaders with a career across the PS can only do this of course if they think they know better than the person who left.Amazing how much you can appear to know if you choose the right words carefully .
Either way even the leadership in the bureau know something, they are saying nothing about that.
