Over the years some very dear former colleagues have called me a heretical public servant. This is true and has been for over thirty years. During that time I've seen abuses of power normalised to an extent where Australia's federal government has created a police state. Since retiring in 2011 (more like a mutual divorce), I've been speaking out on these abuses.
The Australian Government and its public service are geared up to keep people in the dark about the system of control they have evolved. Understanding how this system works and what it means for us all is, I believe, the key for getting some sanity and decency back into politics and the public service so that both actually serve YOU.
Its time to put an end to Australia's silent state.
