A chance itself is not enough

Comments on Tom Dusevic “Chance to rebuild a reputation”, 22/01/2011, http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/opinion/chance-to-rebuild-a-reputation/story-e6frg6zo-1225992591673

Although there is a chance for Gillard and her government to redeem themselves, they are likely to run the risks of making a repeat of the BER disaster on topic of the natural disasters in Queensland and Victoria and of imposing an unnecessary levy at the taxpayers' expenses that funds their mismanagement.

If either the former or both materialise, then it will almost certainly be the political end of this government.

The government has not shown its competency so far. When under greater pressure, it is even less likely that it will perform better.

PS: To redeem itself, the government needs to break with outdated thinking that any infrastructure building will be good no matter how it is managed and how wasteful it is. It needs to improve its big project management skills, to say the least.
