“RULES FOR THEE, BUT NOT FOR ME.“
The Federal and State Government holds corporate Australia to the highest standards of accountability. Miss a target and your share price drops. Cook the books and you go to jail. Fail your customers and you lose your job.
But who holds the government to the same standard? No one.
Because in politics there are no consequences, this must change.
Government compliance with Senate orders for documents has fallen from 92% to 33%. Australia’s corruption perception score has dropped 8 points since 2012. Former ministerial staffers are setting up lobbying firms within months of leaving office through loopholes in rules they helped write.
If we ran a business the way this country is governed, we’d be shut down.
It’s time for the same rules to apply to the people who make the rules. Ministers should face the same personal accountability as company directors. Every portfolio should have published KPIs measured against outcomes not announcements.
Every program over $100 million should have an independent cost-benefit analysis before it’s approved. Every dollar should be tracked and published so ordinary Australians can see where their money goes and if a program fails, the person responsible should answer for it the same way a CEO would.
Same standards. Same consequences. No exceptions.
What’s your thoughts…?
