Lid posted:It is no longer an option to let working class people think the far-right will solve their suffering. It is no longer an option to continue red-baiting amongst our ranks and treat socialism as a dirty word. Now more than ever we need to be preparing for a future without capitalism. The Greens need to be supporting participatory, directly democratic politics and empowering workers and communities to take back their lives. That means abandoning liberal politics, abandoning identity politics and adopting a politics of solidarity ok cool so they're morons then

ewe2 posted:IIRC a lot of people got asked to take redundancy with the implication that coming back as a consultant was the way to go, I know of a few people who took that up. What I don't understand is what possible good that was ever going to do in the first place, but the APS has gotten beyond caring any more. hooman posted:So what you're saying is that if I'm interested in public policy and research I shouldn't do a degree in it and try to get a job doing that and should instead toil away in something I don't care about but which isn't actively trying to screw me?

Blamestorm posted:Edit: and arguably it's even worse when you do have to do policy work but it's on the run, and you are keenly aware what you are doing may cause a debacle further down the track like the pink bats thing because you only have a day to do it and no prior knowledge of the issue area. the alternative, of course, is that you spend 2 years developing a wide array of policy options for your minister, but because they have trouble deciding where to fly their charter plane to to have lunch let alone what they want their landmark political legacy to be, they never actually decide on anything; at the end of the 2 years you spend $500,000 on a review by [deloitte/pwc/ey] and accomplish absolutely nothing. those are your two options: develop a policy from scratch in five hours and have it go catastrophically wrong in entirely predictable ways, or spend years developing policy and have nothing to show for it. e: in my experience public servants tend to be pretty okayat their jobs, even the executive can pull their weight sometimes, but unless you win the lottery your minister is probably barely qualified to attend kindergarten let alone run the country and their advisors are all tragics from young libs/labs who are afraid of sunlight BBJoey fucked around with this message at 09:55 on Jan 16, 2017 |
