There was the whole "reducing the size of government" fiasco where public servants were packaged out, then re-hired as consultants on a 40-50% wage increase so the Abbott government could crow about 'reducing public service numbers'.

It cost the government millions of dollars to window-dress for political capital. The IPA idiots lapped it up.

The only differences between bigfooty and a think tank are consensus and money.
What about influencing politicians and policies, don't think BF does that.

If we had consensus and money we could and would.

The old 'divide and conquer' works here, keeps us at each other over minor points of difference (some will argue with me on that as an example).

Big IF! You seem to not understand how the IPA works.
They are a group of organised people with the means to influence political discussion?

Just like unions.

Just like Bigfooty could be if we were all on the same page and had financial power to make our opinions heard.

Okay, whatever.

Try 'a wish list that when Abbot became PM used it as his policy document'.

I am sure it is in the 'Abbott' thread and if I recall correctly implemented at least 20 of their 25 policies.

Can't recall Unions having that much influence but you keep on believing that.

By the way, by pointing out their influence doesn't necessarily mean that I support Union views, but nice try.

That you think I'm being partisan here speaks far more to you than me, they aren't out to get you Maggie.

Any group of significant size and financial power will exert a political will, even bigfooty could do it if mobilized - which was my only damn point in the entire thread.

Think that your first sentence tells me more about you than me.

Yeh but everyone knows where unions get their money from. The IPA keep their donors secret

No they wouldnt.

Bold statement.
 
You're the one throwing attitude with your "okay, whatevers".
Accountability is something democracies could never have enough of.

Because you can't seem to understand so it is easier to say that. Not attitude, statement of fact.
