Administrative Blues

I’d hate to be in the public service these days. Well I always would have, but that’s beside the point of this narrative.

They, the bureaucrats, have been nastily sandwiched between rampant control by politicians and the fast-moving technology era.

Rabbits in the headlights with no wherewithal to flee or fight. It’s an adrenaline free zone sans muscle tone.

And for that we’re all paying the price. And will continue to do so.

A strong state needs the adminstration to be an opposing power to the politicians and the legal profession. It’s the trilogy that we lack.

Eventually it will bite us in the bum, probably in the upcoming economic downturn when our resources parachute will fail to open 

One novel solution; we nationalise all those corporate oligarchies, then in each sector aggregate them into single bureaucracies, and put them in charge.

The only thing that would change is the distribution of the profits. Oh, and they’ll tell our fuckwit politicians where to get off.

Only joking…

A more practical solution is not to nationalise but to corporatise the whole bureaucracy.

The eternal problem, the one that the Royal Commission into banks will face, is how to get corporates to serve all of society rather than just those that can afford their shares.
