Rob Sitch is at pains IN UTOPIA ABC to remind the twits in charge of our Building Australia that they are so cringeworthy they think consultants will provide answers to complex planning issues.
The public service used to exist to provide capable dependable reliable advice ( that is judging the consultants not the other way around ) for all the people . Now its a free for all ; nimbys , foxes in charge of chicken coupes and long waits to delight those who now get a free feed form the public purse because they know more abou the passing prey than our innocent of evil polys .

" The threat to sound decision making from unstable coalitions involving ignorant and inexperienced lobbyists is now a worldwide concern in the West .
Prominent British intellectual AC Grayling describes very well in two recent books ( "Democracy in Crisis" and "The Good State ") how many Western Governments are making quick fix decisions that don't work.

Most of my clients in the bush have given up on the ruling parties years ago . We need our young , less worn out people to represent them and sound science in practice as they have already done with showing the way in egg and Australian produce marketing choices .- broadening the economics/ ecological principles debate. Thankfully not all our young people take the simple Marxist line . See UTOPIA ABC this week .
Most farmers and producers of this country usually don't have the energy for email and the internet; they too are without a VOICE .@
