Auditor general under-funded

This is one agency head that is worth every dollar. Tu Pham has done some sterling work shining light on the activities of the Stanhope governmnet, and now she’s being starved of funds in revenge.

I’d just like to know eher the Libs are on this – they are probably laying low because they know that one day they’ll be back on the Treasury benches and then the torch will be aimed their way.

If you read the linked article, it shows pretty clearly where the libs stand from Brendan Smyth’s point of view anyway.

‘Agency head wants a bigger budget’ I’m stunned

A well established technique to ensuring that your little nasties stay under the carpet is to never stir them up. Looks like a money saving strategy to me!

With Stanhope also facing the embarrasssment of supposedly insufficient funding to address audit findings… The recent audit of respite care provided by Disability ACT included a statement that the non-government sector was able to provide these services at a “significantly” lower cost. Perhaps Stanhope should ask the community organisations to take over.
