      This is very worrying !These beaurocrats have not kept important expenditure records up to date and there don't appear to be adequate checks and balances. This sloppy negligence should result in instant dismissal.

    Hence why the government excluded themselves from the “misinformation” policy. If you’re in government or part of the controlled media, post whatever you like and who cares if the info is out of date, we accept no responsibility.

    It took 8 mins from a report of an under sight to it getting noted as an actionable item!!
    Imagine if it took a plumber 8 minutes to observe a leaking hose and deciding to rectifying it. Or an electrician 8 minutes to observe a short circuit and deciding to switch off the mains
    This is why govt sucks the big ones...they are not capable of a simple acknowledgement that there's a problem and make an immediate and final decision to fix it

    Very good question David, thank you.
    I am thinking that perhaps we have too many public servants, and that this leads to a diffusion of responsibility.
    Our government is too big, although I’ve no doubt many public servants do an excellent job.
    One of the respondents baulked at the idea of doing an audit, despite giving assurances of ensuring up-to-date information.
    This harks back to your question: who is responsible, and what processes are in place to ensure that information is up-to-date?
    The conclusion was somewhat wish-washy, but at least they were, for the most part, reasonably affable.
    It will be interesting to see what information is provided to you, in notice.
    Speaking of which, there should be somewhere on the website where we can read those submissions.
    Thanks for all your work, David.
