Too easy to blame the Bureaucrat
Re Excessive focus on Russell Rees - Bushfire enquiry Victoria
When the responsibility for real process failures OFTEN goes Much Higher
For example
--those who in Authority presume to know
--those who don't act on previous bushfire reviews
- those who in their 2 nd or 3rd term aren't actively working to get advice from those they haven't cloned . ( A list could be prepared )
--those who don't train for the job ( a particular beef of EA)
--those who don't think training would help ( which is the bigger worry?above?)
--those who allow departments to not train or retain trained staff
--those who allow the untrained to take control
You could go on Please ADD !
Russell Rees is getting a lot of bad press lately .
RC and our objectives are not to end in a blame game - the risk is that the dry and dusty business of poor process is not heard and the big heads ( some of the TW above) won't roll - thats all it may be.

The eternal dilemma for a public servant who cares . How high do you have to go to meet a political appointee who doesn't realize he/she doesn't know what he is doing ( like their political masters) - let alone admit it
If you don't understand somethings I write, it may be intentional on my part . I don't want you to go off half cocked thinking you know excactly what to do . I only want those who will ask more info and or who will really listen.
There is something worse than taking good advice. It is adding your own to it which can totally undermine its real effectiveness.
