I am not suggesting that you should, just asking if you go to that level of detail. I often put in complaints and comments to my (local) state and federal members, and generally I get some pretty good responses, and not the political spin that you see on commercial media. As our elected officials are generally not subject experts for the ministries that they have been appointed too, their office staff do a lot to ensure the member asking the questions of the minister and getting back to you. By way of example, Bill Shorten is not a subject expert in disability, or the way individuals with a disability function within our society. However, every question that I have put to my local federal member regarding issues with the NDIS and my experiences working within the disability sector have been acted upon. I put that down to the work of the individuals who are employed to run those departments, not the minister.

Elected officials are not experts in their appointed ministries. Whilst their may be a political angle to how Mr Pearson responds, or doesn’t respond to funding of mental health workers compensation, the people that advise the Minister, that being the Directors/Secretaries of the government department’s charged with administrating both the “safety” legislation and workers compensation, are the ones that should be made accountable. When that happens, as it did at the federal level around the “robodebt” saga, change happens.
