I believe it has, but I also believe it’s not too late to reclaim it.

Decisions that shape everyday life in Australia increasingly feel distant, abstract, and insulated from public influence. Over time, there has been an observable drift of power away from the people, and toward interconnected networks of influence that operate with limited democratic accountability.

This drift didn’t happen overnight. It occurred slowly, over decades, quietly enough that many Australians, including myself, didn’t fully notice it at the time.

The BOM Website Debacle: The legacy Political Parties like to blame each other, but is there a more fundamental issue

Article by Mark Neugebauer

The controversy surrounding the Bureau of Meteorology’s website overhaul is not just a story of a bungled IT project or a cost blowout. It is a symptom of a deeper, structural problem in Australian governance—one that neither major party seems willing to confront, because both are complicit in creating and maintaining it. For Australians for Better Government (ABG), the BOM saga is precisely the sort of failure that exposes why our country needs a more transparent, accountable and modern system of executive leadership.

ABG Movement Spreads to Adelaide - Australians for Better Government - Newsletter 12

Adelaide was once a major hub for car manufacturing, with companies like General Motors Holden operating large plants. Not only cars, but Adelaide manufacturing also extended to defence industries, such as shipbuilding, and significant electronics manufacturing, with firms like Mitsubishi Electric producing consumer goods and components.

Manufacturing provided thousands of jobs and contributed significantly to South Australia’s economy, peaking in the 1960s-1980s. The sector employed around 20% of the state’s workforce at its height.
