It'snot just Australia. As soon as politicians get involved (or a manager that isn't a subject matter expert) things become exactly like this. Half my day is spend on telling people what they need to do and when. Only for them to dump a rush job they knew about for months on my desk at the last minute (bonus points if the politician/manager involved already had a photo op in the papers anouncing the start of the project). I so love the my tony's in other departments, they get me involved early on and help me make sure that a bad project gets killed early and a good project gets streamlined. (Fuck the project managers though, except for 1 they are all a clueless bunch of twats)

@nikolaslarson6891 28 дней назад

Don't worry it's the same all over the "Western" world. You probably know something called planning for results.

Any kind of investor, even involuntary ones, like taxpayers. Great series, it nails it!

Excellent series, Working Dog! "UIN" card ending deserving of a Loggie! The episode with "Bert", the "second pass" retiree showing the 7 billion dollar light rail could be done for 2 billion, then let go "to reduce gov't expenditure". Or, the student writing Ministerial Briefings on "Blockchain" and Jim's reflection on the news about the student's schoolwork. "Attention to detail. Very important in life." Where did you find that woman from HR??? To write "Excellent series, Working Dog!" is a massive undersell of this production. All involved justified feeling extremely(!) proud of their work.

Oh, and they plant their own agenda into these reports to actually shape govt policy incognito over time.

Or B) everything is industry standard and fine. knowing the kind of people who have a controlling stake in this enterprise... B should always be the correct answer.
