Public Servants across the world must be accountable

Public servants must be accountable the world over, like the private sector

With my dementia journey I have had to liaise with so many public services, many times was so frustrated by their lack of service and care. This is common all over the world.

Our taxes pay for public servants to look after us and they don’t, they do as little as possible and there is nothing we can do about it, until we change their terms of employment and they become accountable.

We have a lawless society where we have toothless authorities who do nothing but fob us off, including the Law Commission, Ombudsman, Regulatory Authorities like Sydney Water and Sydney Roads.

Consistent employment rules for everyone, if you do your job, you have nothing to worry about.

No more lifetime employment when our taxes pay for them to look after us, when so many do as little as possible, watch the clock and only work minimum hours and still get paid.

Why is it, they can earn more than their salary with overtime, and no one checks their overtime sheets.

If they don’t do their jobs they should be sacked, just like in the private sector.

In the private sector there’s rarely any overtime, you have a salary and work whatever hours are required to do your job, meet your deadlines and be accountable.

We want to attract the best people to provide the best service, care and cost effectiveness as so much tax payers money is wasted .

Of course there are a number who are very proactive, provide enormous assistance and support.
