    The dreadful #cronyism of political appointees to senior public service roles (SES to Secretary) is a thin wedge killing our democratic institutions. We’ve been slipping to the right wing of politics for decades and the electorate has done sweet FA about it… is it too late?

  2. I must confess that the auhor *Lost* me when he advocated for major increases in the remuneration of politicians based on the falsifiable premise that higher salaries attracts more competent *managers*. False premises and undisclosed assumptions is the killer blow to any quazy-academic postulate, and the author fell for both of them IMO.

    Happy to be criticized for my review.

    Sadly, these terrible collapses like the #MiamiTower are just a tip of the iceberg.

    We wrote something recently on another device and will get it out in the days ahead.

    In #Australia we've been struggling with our own #propertyDeveloper and #privateEquity craze since #Sydney2000, and yes, a lot of dodgy #construction.

    The #realEstate and #propertyCouncil have been aggressively #lobbying #selfRegulation for as long as we can remember too.
