http://www.couriermail.com.au/business/ ... 5853859546KEVIN Rudd and his ministers have emerged as Australia's most demanding bosses, with near-record staff burnout of almost 60 per cent in just more than two years.
Despite Mr Rudd pledging to tear up former prime minister John Howard's hated WorkChoices, 262 ministerial staff - from a total of 444 positions - have departed since Labor came to office.
Three ministers have recorded staff turnover of more than 100 per cent, with Youth and Sport Minister Kate Ellis having 13 departures from a staff of 10. At least one was a part-time university student while several others left to have families.
The Prime Minister himself has lost 28 staff, with Government insiders describing his office as resembling a "transit lounge".
Some former staff are privately seething at his management style, claiming he can fly off the handle at a moment's notice.
The pace of Labor's 24/7 reform agenda has taken its toll. Deputy Prime Minister and Workplace Relations Minister Julia Gillard has lost 12 staff while Climate Change Minister Penny Wong has shed 14.
Newly appointed Population Minister Tony Burke has suffered an 81 per cent turnover, losing 13 staff.
The staff exodus shocked recruitment specialists who said the private sector "norm" was closer to 10 per cent per year.
"It's a very high number by any standard I am aware of," Australian Human Resources Institute president Peter Wilson said.
Brooklyn Group CEO Brian Russell also queried why Government advisers had left in droves.
`You shouldn't be having 100 per cent turnover in any team. If you've got autocratic management, lack of direction - basic fundamentals - especially in a small group, people will leave," he said.
"Every time you lose someone it costs the taxpayer huge money."
Veterans Affairs Minister Alan Griffin has seen 12 staff leave his office, a turnover of 108 per cent.
Minister for Ageing Justine Elliott has a similar turnover, after losing 13 of her employees.

The insulation industry fucked itself (with it's dodgy work). You can cry about the "mom and pop" householders, and have somewhat of a point... but don't go crying for the greedy bastards who actually caused the problem, and expect to be taken seriously

So the govt doesn't need to be held accountable for their 'stimulating' fuck ups? Good businesses who invested because of the govt 'intervention' now have to suffer because of bad management of the govt?
Get real...this govt is fucking atrocious. Promise one thing, renege at leisure...

Of course the most extreme of the LW is involved in completely fucking an industry designed to deliver a better environmental outcome.The Hawke report is scathing of the role of the Department of Environment in delivering the insulation program.
Lunatics in charge of the asylum.
It's a fucking full on failure of the govt. You can just imagine the waste and fuckups on Ghoulias watch with the BER.
How the fuck can you leftards condone or excuse this?

Still no recognition that it was businesses that did the shoddy work in their rush to defraud the Australian tax payers. Not surprising.
Just goes to show, you can't trust the free market, it needs regulation... heavy regulation, to ensure they don't fuck people over.
