We elect representatives to govern in accordance with our Constitution and Parliament has the power, not the many ‘experts’ who are employed by governments.
The grants that are given out to to various causes selected on the basis of opinion coloured by thought processes that include altruistic and political advantages.
To make some argument that governments should simply follow the experts is to believe the Communist theory that we will in time all work in perfect harmony for the common good.
One blazing example of how ridiculous is that notion is our failed aviation administrator, CASA.
CASA the independent expert body unhampered by accountability via the ballot box. So much for the experts.
A far better argument about government handouts would be to advocate a much lower taxation regime and minimise or eradicate handouts altogether.
