Andrew Podger AO: Is Thodey public sector reform on Steroids or Valium?
Manage episode 425385433 series 3490290
- The pros and cons of bringing all service delivery together in a single agency
- The valuing of operational expertise v policy leadership
- The role of portfolio budget practices in driving Robodebt
- Cultures of challenge and diversity of thought
- The future of public service reform.
- 2019 Thodey Review of Australian Public Service
- 1976 Coombs Royal Commission on Australian Government Administration
Now for some appropriately bureaucratic disclaimers....
Those of us in the employ of the State Government speak in a strictly personal capacity, consistent with the Public Sector Code of Ethics that permits public servants to promote an outcome in relation to an issue of public interest - in this case, the betterment of the public service.
Nothing we say should be taken as representing the views of the Government or our employers.
While we have tried to be as thorough in our research as busy full time jobs and lives allow, we definitely don’t guarantee that we’ve got all the details right.
If you want rigorous reporting on Robodebt, we recommend the work of Rick Morton at the Saturday Paper, Chris Knaus and Luke Henriques-Gomes at the Guardian, Ben Eltham at Crikey, Julian Bajkowski at The Mandarin, and of course, the Robodebt Royal Commission itself.
Please feel free to email us corrections, episode suggestions, or anything else, at thewestminstertraditionpod@gmail.com.
Thanks to PanPot audio for our intro and outro music.
