Dr Chris Davis, former LNP Minister in Queensland, tell it like it is. He talks of sociopaths, broken trust, betrayal and winding back of public scrutiny. He said that, under the current Premier, Queensland had suffered losses in all three pillars of its democracy - parliament, public service and judiciary.
In the video, he talks of the importance of trust to good governance and says that in his opinion you cannot trust this government.
The same can be said of Western Australia under Barnett.
Barnett has ignored three resolutions of Parliament condemning forced local government amalgamations.
Barnett has further politicised the public service. He and Ministers have criticised senior public servants for their own failings. Barnett has ignored blatant conflicts of interest in the hope that they will pass unnoticed - and when they are noticed he disingenuously says they didn't influence decisions.
Barnett left the Supreme Court of WA one judge short for months - and then filled the post with a government employee.
Barnett appointed a State Governor one of whose first acts was to sign Governor's Orders on local government changes that were still the subject of action in the courts.
