DEVELOPING REGURGITATED POLICY IN THE NT

AVOIDANCE

To avoid ‘new policies that are discarded and regurgitated old policies’ the Northern Territory Government might give consideration to establishing a group of people who are long-term residents in the Northern Territory. This group might be asked if there is any previous history about ideas being fleshed out out as “new beaut schemes“.

This group might comprise people with background into the operation of various departments and with experience in life and living in the Northern Territory in general terms.

Neither might it be necessary for people to meet physically to consider every issue, rather being asked for feedback by email or by phone on occasion. This will enable people living out of Darwin and Palmerston to be involved.
The thought is not that this group should be remunerated; that’s not the motivation of everybody who wants to support our Territory and see it is a better place. The thinking was that in the interests of avoiding mistakes, particularly where those mistakes might arise from revisiting previous policy that had been discarded, a group of such a nature could lend itself to the betterment of the Territory.

I wanted to share this with you and wondered what you might think about such a development.
