Soviet bureaucracy/Australian Government

Crikey again. Describing the liberal party, and how nobody these days steps out of line, they all just blindly follow.

This is how the Soviet bureaucracy worked. It is not the way the Westminster system worked or was ever supposed to work – we were supposed to have checks and balances. But we no longer have that system. We have a Soviet-style nomenclature, where the roles of politicians and administrators are indistinguishable, and blind loyalty is the performance criterion that matters above all else.
