Politicians and ministers in government do the ‘Politicking’ and little else. They are the public face of government, rarely have their portfolios for long, and they never get to grips with their departments. They are a dispensable part of the party political machine. Civil Servants are the tail that wags the dog, and they alone will have done the hard yards on Kallak. Baylan leaving changes little. This government will be held accountable, either by the media or electorate. Ministers have come and gone, and the issue of the Kallak application, whilst not contributing to any politicians demise, has seen them all off. The exploitation licence application has outlived them all. It’s a problem that festers and simply won’t go away. Sooner or later, the elephant in the room must be addressed.
