Pete Buttigieg is a smart man.
Sad to see there will be no "big deal" and investing in Americas infrastructure with the new president. Only self-enrichment.

The Secret Pilgrim, by John Le Carré, is a book that everyone in the civil, military, foreign, or clandestine services should read at least once. Rereading it tonight, I came across a passage that I stopped to highlight, no further commentary.
Loyalty to an organization or individuals should depend on the latters' character. .
A mass of unconditional and unquestioning "yes men" is the foundation for Fascism, the enthroning of tyrants, and the corruption and subjugation people in all undemocratic and totalitarian societies.
Our loyalties must be to principles as this is the only foundation for the creation and sustenance of civilized societies.

Accessibility and affordability of Lawyers is fundamental to a healthy democracy.
It’s a form of facilitating the accountability of Politicians, Government Agencies and Large Corporations to minimise negligence and corruption.
To hear how much our current parliament is neglecting public funding of these vital services makes you wonder if the current politicians think ‘Fairness and accountability is only for the elites that can afford lawyers’

In case you need another reason to understand that unrestrained capitalism is an unalloyed evil:
an interesting #LongWatch about the many efforts of the soviet union to combat corruption, embezzlement, and other white collar crime.

The Good Governance Initiative (GGI) proposes a methodological framework to assess and improve open-source trust, awareness and strategy within organisations.
Wer als #Trauzeuge oder #beteiligter #Ehemann nicht von selbst auf #Befangenheit kommt, ist entweder #böswillig oder für die Leitungsebene einer öffentlichen Verwaltung nicht #qualifiziert.
So jemand kann in seiner Verwaltung auch keine #Compliance und #GoodGovernance wirksam umsetzen.

A healthy Democracy depends on functional Opposition. Victoria's government will need to get a lot worse before its Opposition begins to look like a credible option.

Matters of integrity & good governance need to treated seriously and acted upon. Flippant dismissal by government should be a concern.
For the ardent Dan supporters remember that good governments can still do bad things.

Heres a thought for the Dems in congress:
Approach the Republican Governance Group
Offer to have the entire democratic caucus vote for their leader, David Joyce as speaker, if they can get a few GOPers to also vote for him, in return, the Dems get to chair a couple of committees, and as a bonus, we neutralize the far right of the GOP….
