Corruption and Manipulation

 

Ethical standards and practice have significantly fallen around
the world.

The levee against corruption, rorting and monies stolen from the public in many sectors have collapsed.

Is it the system?  Is it the manipulation of the system?
Is it that third parties do not call it out when breaches occur?

Is it because I observe, but do not say anything and do nothing more?

Does it go deeper into the mindsets, of those individuals in and with the power, getting more greedy?

Is it because the common person like me is easily fooled?

Is it because I am part of the corrupt system, willing to pick up peanuts strewn on the ground by individuals who rake in millions in cash?

The manipulation by the corrupt few will only grow, if nothing further is done more effectively, apart from reporting after the fact, discussing and talking.....as the said levee continues to go under.

Covid 19, June 2021

Are there lessons for Australia? If any government does not effectively manage the breach point of Covid 19 entering into their country, the risks of whatever numbered infectious waves remain. The international borders of Australia have been officially closed since March 2020. Breach entry points to me possibly encompass aircraft crew, returned citizens and permanent residents, travel ban exempted personalities like politicians, diplomats and celebrities with connections, so called essential personnel and exceptions decreed by bureaucrats and governments as if Covid 19 can recognise and do not touch them. The management of such breach point groups must be improved. It is the self entitled wiring in the brains and egos of our decision makers which actually provide the greatest public health management risks for any of us, who are mostly complying with rules as pronounced by our respective state and Federal governments. For Australia, the track record of cross infections of Covid 19 in quarantine hotels and facilities - and occasional leakages into local transmission cases - is rather concerning, after all these months. #yongkevthoughts
