in my bitter experience
the Federal Public service, in general, is so far ahead of the bloated, rule bound, rigid, counter-intuitive process driven private sector in efficiency and rational decision making it is criminal that hockey puck and Co are destroying much more of the functioning departments. Like ATO tax auditors. Perhaps OHS and poisonel excepted. I have worked in large and small enterprises and departments with the same assessment. But, then, the donors must be repaid somehow, musn't they ? And Ayn Rand is the messiah. Pah, pigs just went hypersonic.
But I digress. A casual discussion around any mixed company event will illustrate that most of Oz's enterprises are as corrupt as any political fund raising organisation. I have nearly choked at how private sector behaviour which would get any public servant, (except in Defence) gaoled is SOP. Purchasing form instance. And we have not got the the Boards, mates and CEOs yet. Back to the cold shower, dark quiet room before another cardiac alert.
