Infrastructure Australia, a Report to the Council of Australian Governments (journal article)
a review by Henry Ergas
from Agenda: A Journal of Policy Analysis and Reform, Vol 16 No 1
"...[the report] suffers greatly from being neither fish nor fowl: it lacks the frankness, clarity and rigour one would expect from an expert report. At the same time, it lacks the care in drafting, the appreciation of the subtleties, and the honest acknowledgement of political constraints that one hopes for in a departmental statement. The impression is of a document drafted by a committee of mixed quality, with the attempt to do ‘the right thing’ (through references to efficiency and cost-benefit analysis) frequently overridden by a ragbag of currently fashionable concerns."
