The Bega Valley Shire Residents & Ratepayers Association group in WALLAGOOT NSW were outraged from frustrations in communications with its regional council.

Taught Obfuscation response

During legitimate requests for answers to enlighten the community toward deeper understanding of their financial burdens. The response received was confusing and stapled with hallmarks of a typical political statement. One can easily label it as a learned response taken out of a legal manual instruction on how to to obfuscate.

“Obfuscation” is the term used to describe a common technique used by politicians, the world over, to avoid responding to difficult questions. This propensity effectively derails or delays legitimate inquiries that a responsible politician does not want to deal with.

This mode of operation transfers responsibility and authority on to, paid for, bureaucrats that respond to legitimate inquiries with unclear and deliberately evasive language that will effectively avoid a meaningful response (evident by their signatures in the linked report).

The link below is the media release requested by the rate payers for publication on the EM-Voice.

Grew up and schooled on the Mornington Peninsula, South East Australia, with not a care... i then encountered life... i know now that life can be way better... So i found myself graduating as an Engineer and grasping Engineering Science, Calculus and Communication as electives... Armed with these tools, the options became much broader, However, Australia was looking restricted in careers, and sad to say, the grass looked greener abroad... so i stopped right at that point in thought... And with long story drastically shortened... "Do something in the South East that will make a difference in opening the short falls”.... i am delighted to have been accepted to utilise those 3 Rs in my tool bag (Yes, i know - just follow my flow please).... to write, report and Respond on this new media Voice.
