I just reckon ppl should be more respectful and remember these guys are just moving at the whims of the government of the day.
The APS should probably command more respect in general, sone very bright people work there and they manage good work despit constant meddling.
However many department heads have quite a bit of leeway in how they carry out their brief and shaping the desires of a minister is not hugely difficult. Nobody is reading past the first paragraph of the executive summary of the report.
Plus despite pretending to be they are not apolitical creatures.
Accountability is necessary, and everyone could stand to be laughed at more.
