    Labor is correctly pointing out that Gaetjens' is a partisan appointment. Then again, I think the PBO has already usurped Treasury's former credibility as a source of proper economic advice.pic.twitter.com/JHDY0e3XnS

        The PBO is clearly viewed as being at arms' length when it comes to independent number crunching. As it should!

        I'm not sure how widely that is understood. I think a treasury view is still seen by many as authoritative especially when portrayed by the media as such

        I have dealt with public servants over many years who have remarked about a change in culture within the public service. They comment about the gradual politicisation of the public service. Those remarks are often uncomplimentary.

        Australia is now fully fledged corporate fascist/police state. It's happened in my lifetime, and I can hardly believe it either. Labor will be little better because its beholden to the same interests. We're just the peasants on their corporate farm.pic.twitter.com/X4OiMaWzft

        What a load of rubbish. The Liberal Party believe in allowing the people to do as they wish as long as it does not infringe upon the rights of others. Fascism is a way of ruling that advocates total control of the people. I don't see that happening in Australia at all.

        Wouldn't he be in immediate breach of the aps code of conduct due to the perception of bias He brings?
