the ideal task for it is: something that takes more work than it's worth and doesn't need to be perfectly right, but is important enough and enough work that it justifies dicking around with an agent that will get it mostly right some of the time... which is what exactly?

John Menadue: “Charles was a very active participant in the dismissal of Gough Whitlam 50 years ago. Don’t make any mistake about that. Charles was up to his royal ears in it. He was not politically neutral. He sided with privilege and aristocracy.”

Well, unbelievably, Tanya, we actually have ministers in the Albanese government who are arguing that giving police more powers to cause poverty will stop rape or murder or child abuse, that police should cause more poverty and trauma despite never reducing rape or murder or child abuse.

police investigate about 15% of the minuscule proportion of sexual violence victims who report to police. Most people know not to boost police data while being ridiculed and disbelieved and traumatised by violent misogynists. Tell us how police causing poverty stops rapists, Tanya. We are all ears.

One lesson of Mamdani is if you say something is a major problem then promise to do a major thing to fix it. If you say something is a major problem but your solution is a little fix, voters know you are full of it, and will eventually drift to those who say it's not a problem at all.

When the wave of 'neoliberal' reform of state & society began under Hawke & Keating, such outcomes were predictable & indeed predicted; also, proceeded from an understanding of the basic mechanisms of state & capital. Lots of ppl have written about it. You can read it in B&W.

I'm boring & repetitive but The Emperor Has No Clothes: 'The CPSU has said Australia’s employment services system are “a complete failure”'; they're not. They generate incomes (profits) for private owners. That's a success. It's both the intent and effect of privatisation.
