A little birdie with recent experience inside DHS tells me as follows:
> All the bods in the department who were the brains behind the scheme
have been promoted and left the Human Services department for other
departments. This happened some months ago when public criticism of the
scheme was getting heated and the class actions were getting warmed up
for court action; and also the finding that the scheme was basically
illegal. So those responsible have and will face no repercussions.
No surprises there.
But I thought it best that I pass it on, as confirmation that:
(a) past patterns continue ('Remember the Access Card!'), and
(b) my (and your) expressed cynicism was entirely justified.
