Yet another summary of Victoria's transparency promises, set alongside performance, this time in Failure to launch by Farrah Tomazin in the Sunday Age. No room in her impressive litany for two matters raised here- the mystery five weeks before commencement on 1 December 2012 of the Freedom of Commissioner scheme, of any visible sign of preparation; and the opaque system for payments made for and on behalf of parliamentarians in Victoria.
Tomazin concludes with the observation about Premier Baillieu and his team that "good leadership isn't about promising higher ideals in opposition, only to back down once in government."
