It violates our conscience not to.<BR/><BR/>So when (Mr. Campbell) has to look in the mirror and see that he'd done something wrong, what are his options?<BR/><BR/>1.) Deny it.<BR/>2.) Rationalize it away.<BR/>3.)

And the record on the money aspect is clear to all, with current budget increases restoring but a fraction of what you have cut.<BR/><BR/>I'm more concerned about the future than the past, though, and Paul raises an important aspect, in terms of the enormous additional drain posed by the "endless bureaucratic restructuring." <BR/><BR/>It's hard enough at the best of times to do a good job in living up to the challenging mandate of this Ministry. Ted Hughes zeroed in on the enormous additional burden imposed by ongoing reforms.<BR/><BR/>The true test of whether the Premier has learned anything at all from the failures is whether he plans to continue to keep this Ministry bogged down in the trap of endless bureaucratic restructuring.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
