Baillieu's ministers slipping and sliding
What's the worst thing that can happen with a new government? One that (as normal) gets in because the previous government were so incompetent . -Answer: They make the same mistakes the previous government did.
And why would they be silly enough do that ? They might think business knows best and they might not realise the bureaubrats have great ( well intentioned ) dreams but will spend great amounts of public money chasing them. They might let the 2 biggest groups in town still lead them (the bureaubrats and the businesses who rely on them )cause they don't listen to anyone else ( Yes Minister is still popular !) .The biggest threat is clearly still the biggest threat.
As those of us who worked in the PS - such scenarios are not only likely through the term , it seems today, going to limit the reform possibilities under the Libs? Not unless the Ministers twig to the tax rich driver groups who talk them into things. The best intentions cloaked in gifts paid for by the poor.
O' Brien clearly wasn't warned by his advisors that his approach would win few friends (which means he's being snowed still)
His whitewash of the smart meters sounded like he and Ted had failed to see the danger.
Even if there is something good about smart meters, the Minister O'Brien gave the distinct impression he and the new lib government had learnt nothing about how to waste public money ,,,and worse ( cause its easier to implement ) calling for an end to "all the crap about saving us money " and helping us manage how much we spend ( Nanny O'Brien)
To be credible with a patient overtaxed public they should've maintained the rage and ditched the crappy ads ( fed funded-- who cares ) that tell us we are all going to save money and stopped the "token gestures about " more monitoring".
If this slipping is symbolic of the snowing that is going on amongst them , its a very serious disease .

Ballieu's ministers don't know what to do. Walsh, Stockdale, Smith and half the sllepy breedof retail therapy agents in the LIb party convinced themselves that a business approach would restore order; It hasn't and won't .
Water charges just go up and up as the smarter ones in these departments , exploit these hands off Lib dummies who claim to lead use the taxes to what they like.
Just as they di under Labor .
How long before Labor realises that their mistake in creating the wonthagi white elephant was not really just their problem. Walsh and his careless failure to really support the hard working people of this country .

Ballieu's ministers don't know what to do. Walsh, Stockdale, Smith and half the sleepy breed of retail therapy agents in the LIb party continue to convince themselves that a business approach would restore order; It hasn't and won't .
Water charges just go up and up as the smarter ones in these departments exploit the hands off Lib dummies who only ever claim to lead- Their departments use the taxes to what they like.
Just as they did under Labor .
How long before Labor realises that their mistake in creating the wonthagi white elephant was not really just their problem. Walsh and his careless failure to really support the hard working people of this country must be recognised before Libs can win the next election .
