Government as A special interest group!

In many academic discussions of government policy, the general assumption is that the government works in the interests of its constituents and makes the best policies to achieve that.

We have, however, seen many government failures, especially more recently. For example, in the short two and a half years of the Rudd government, there have been a number of big policy failures and huge wastes of taxpayer's money involved.

The government has broken Rudd's own rule and the government's guidelines in terms of using taxpayer's money by using emergence provision for spending $38.5 million on advertisement on the RSPT.

It is political advertisement.

Further, it seems that the government had used misinformation before the miners counter attacks.

Government has become a special interest group, it appears.
