Does anyone have the courage and inside information to give us some real
investigative journalism? While I'd like to give the Turnbull government a
chance to get their bearings, I'm also aware that things being what they
are, real change may never come about.
I want to know what the public works department does with all that money.
How many people are working in what capacity? What exactly are they
responsible for? Why do weeks go by without any visible sign of road and
brush maintenance anywhere on the island? That's one large budget for
what???
Would also be curious to know why my neighbor brings his police car home
every night and every weekend when I've heard we have a shortage of police
vehicles and often police can't answer calls because they have to wait for
an available car.
I'm for accountability and keeping a more careful eye on the bottom line.
Old habits die hard and they require some less than gentle nudging.
Journalism on this island is too often afraid to really rock the boat.
Tolerance is nice, letting things happen in their own time is also nice but
can we afford it – haven't we waited just a little too long already?
