I am sure it will be interesting to say the least. I am sure there is a big effort on from the ADHA to suppress any critical comments. I am pretty sure that will not work!

Those who give advice that you need to hear are one of our most valuable assets and sadly often outcast - those who give advice you want to hear are our most recognised but the worst $$ spent - sadly the most often used.
ReplyDeleteParliament sits for the next two weeks. The ANAO review should come during that period. If it doesn't it means it's really bad for the Minister and he has begged for time to try and minimise the flak.
ReplyDeleteAll in today's news:
ReplyDeleteThe Prime Minister's office accidentally sent journalists today's talking points for Coalition MPs.
'Lost ability to do basic maths': Asylum seeker number bungle means 'plane people' not a record
Five times the cost, twice as long: Snowy Hydro 2.0 'a drain on the public purse'
Aged care royal commission told nursing homes understaffed, most would receive one-star rating
Add these to robodebt, the NBN, censusfail.
A bit of an omnishambles all round by this government.
We look forward to the ANAO report on My Health Record with interest.
And then there's this. Yet another example of the government not being able to think things through:
ReplyDeleteREVEALED: The extraordinary loopholes that allow Centrelink recipients with cashless welfare cards to buy alcohol, drugs and gamble with YOUR money
Cashless welfare cards are being used to purchase Vanilla Visa Cards at stores
The special Visa cards are then used to buy other items such as alcohol in stores
Some claim people are using a range of methods to exchange the credit for cash

The most likely time the ANAO report will be released is the afternoon of the last sitting day of this session. Or hidden behind some other major news story that draws attention away from it.
ReplyDeleteThe cost of NO "Snowy Hydro 2.0" is probably NO Aluminium smelter.
ReplyDeleteIt needs a reliable supply that can run for hours in peak time without the panicked load shedding you get when relying on Wind & Solar (or old Coal power stations that haven't had the maintenance because Wind+Solar get preferential treatment and subsidies). Current chemical batteries are too small compared to total state grid (5% for 1hr) or even the smelter (needs at least 4hrs during peak). A smelter production line will freeze (solid metal if no power for 4hrs) and require hundreds of millions for fixing/replacing.
The comment is directed at the rubbish initial estimates - "Five times the cost, twice as long: Snowy Hydro 2.0 'a drain on the public purse' "
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter what the Audit Office says. The Minister and his department and ADHA will engage spin merchants to treat the ANAOs report like a mexican pinata and beat it to oblivion.
