Government, business too close: Relationship needs to be redefined

Not so very long ago any suggestion that all our governments, led by whichever half of the duopoly that has always run this state, are too close to business would have been dismissed with a shrug. A Brahmin from one tribe or the other would affect a worldliness to intimidate and silence, to close debate.

They would defend what is more an instinctive relationship than a deliberate, mandated policy. However, the argument is redundant, the evidence is, unfortunately, incontrovertible.
