Leeches in suits…bleeding us dry:

‘THE delivery of indigenous services in the Northern Territory has developed into a huge bureaucratic machine.
The number of new public servants since the launch of the federal intervention almost matches the number of extra frontline troops of doctors, nurses, teachers and police.
An investigation by The Australian reveals that, since mid-2007, the number of federal public servants based in the NT – within the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs alone – has more than doubled.
And the department that manages indigenous affairs in the NT has increased its staff numbers by 60 per cent to more than 1100.
The scale of the growth in indigenous bureaucracy comes as remote communities complain of widespread bureaucratic wastage. Visiting government departments book out entire hotels to use only a few rooms, and officials from different departments arrive at the same meeting on separately chartered aircraft.’                             source
