The cosmetic, performative 'third way' mode of politics which began with Clinton & Blair and reached its denouement with Obama is so degraded, the UK government assumes they can just 'say things' and the public will be neither willing nor able to observe their actions and draw obvious inferences.

Trump administration orders dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service
Late Tuesday afternoon, with the subtlety of a wrecking ball and the morality of a foreclosure notice, the Trump administration announced the most devastating attack on the U.S. Forest Service in the agency’s 121-year history. Not a budget cut. Not a policy shift. Not a “reorganization.” An execution.

The problem with the NDIS - and there is a problem - is the same one Australia always faces. If you let small businesses exploit the public purse, they'll exploit it mercilessly (remember pink batts or any one of a 100 such programs). The key is in the system design, not the auditing of it.

Two years ago, my grandmother and I helped an elderly neighbour to his door when he collapsed. In thanks, he sent us chocolates for Easter. It wasn't long after that he passed away. That pink felt flower was around the wrapping. I've now crocheted it into this bag, busting as much yarn as I could.
