I profess not to know what is really going on behind the scenes but the recent developments around the re-appointment of a key retired police adminstrator and the subsequent reversal by the government following some unspecified objections raised by the legal fraternity, makes me question what is going on with the administration of this State. The present Labor administration led by David Bartlett seems to lurch from one crisis to another. This is not good and indeed is a very bad advertisement for Tasmania interstate and overseas.
I wrote recently of my personal disgust of the parliamentary behaviour of the Opposition Leader and the narrow focus of the minority Greens Party. Both lead me to wonder are we really being served by responsible and mature leadership in the State. We do need fresh blood and focus in government and parliament.Certainly by no means an increase in the numbers of pollies in the Lower house but a cleanout of the deadwood that seems to be there on all sides. I am sick of the point scoring and name calling. Do these politicians realise the low standing they have in the general community by this behaviour more akin the schoolyard instead of parliament?
