Now there are valid reasons why some aspects of Government business should be secret. These include state secrets, intelligence, issues of war and design patents. However the type now being practiced by Abbott is based on fear. A fear of embarrassments, of disclosure that might affect image or popularity. It takes away the people’s right to know. Instead it is based on a need to know philosophy that is both insulting and disingenuous. Can you imagine as a minister being told that if you want to make a statement regarding your portfolio you would need to have it cleared by some minder in the Prime Ministers office. It says three things. One, if you cannot be trusted to convey your message in a way that reflects government policy then you should get another job. Secondly that you are not on top of your portfolio or thirdly the party thinks you are incompetent and you are being muzzled. theaimn/2013/10/06/whats-the-fuss-a-lot-of-abbotts-take-a-vowel-of-silence/
