Criticism of Public Service Delays in Melbourne
A Melbourne correspondent criticizes the public service for slow work and frequent absences at key departments. He cites a secretary who delayed an exchange of college grounds for eighteen months, despite repeated reminders, until a ministerial threat spurred action. He decries lunchhour adoptions and long idle hours, noting civil servants often skip work for major events and delay routine business well into the afternoon.
