Couldn’t agree more with Thornbird, and ICAC and CASA are born out of exactly the same puerile and ignorant notion that for good governance all we need is an independent statutory body that is above politics, outside of Ministerial control and some legal norms.
As though experts are the answer to those qualities of human nature that don’t always work in a state of perfection.
Exactly so, create a monopoly that’s far from the reach of the ballot box as you can. Give powers that we know will lead to sorrow and injustice and inefficiencies all the while at great cost to the taxpayer.
No of course don’t look at the rational institutions that do work like Departments or the proper courts, imperfect but the best we’ve devised so far. Don’t look at improving our judicial institutions or fund them to the point where justice might be available to the ordinary person when up against State sponsored juggernauts who have virtually unlimited power and the resources to crush an underfunded individual.
No let’s all proceed to Nirvana with the experts at the helm and watch in awe at their selfless and altruistic perfect performance of duties.
Go further, why the need for that crass interference with Saturday footy and BBQs having to vote when it makes no difference?
As for Pip Spence’s CASA ‘experts,’ well folks that’s enough laughing, choking, falling over, or having an apoplectic fit, its not healthy and if AVMAD get a whiff of it there goes your medical certificate.
