Policy failures a function of poor risk management.

Dr Dean Jaensch (Flinders University) highlights the risk the Australian Commonwealth Government is now under as they run up to an election. His analysis can be accessed here.


The conclusion points to "a government which had tried to do too much, in too short a time, and without thinking out the costs, the methodology and the implications".
