I really enjoyed my time at Primary Industries and Energy - it was a cheerful place, the staff were well motivated, with a deep background on the industries with which they were involved, and a strong empathy with the rural and regional industries and communities.<br /><br />Paul BarrattPAUL BARRATThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447792285944889375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672498644411374237.post-31484345856562714322010-08-13T07:43:45.476+10:002010-08-13T07:43:45.476+10:00Hi Mr Barratt

I once worked under your leadership, in the department you headed prior to going to Defence. You were a breath of fresh air. Circumstances in my life are completely different now and I have found myself out of work for about 9 months (not in ACT), horrified by the harsh welfare policies of this government towards people who have lost their jobs. It makes me feel ashamed of my country. If I could afford it, I'd start a blog on that myself. I will keep any eye on your blog from now on. Rest assured many share your frustrations with the deterioration of public administration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672498644411374237.post-73085661763777842902010-08-10T21:01:09.857+10:002010-08-10T21:01:09.857+10:00Thank you for another insightful critique of our p...Thank you for another insightful critique of our political cl<i>'ass'</i>.<br /><br />Keep up your excellent commentary as it is great to have such a straight down the barrel blog to read.<br /><br />Denis in CanberraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
