I particularly liked his quote here, which echoes my thoughts on even 'benevolent dictatorship':
“China’s view of life and the world simply cannot create outstanding talents because it is totalitarianism, it is dictatorship,” Wang says. “I hope that my child and my family can ... do something for human beings. I feel that in Australia this can be achieved.”
Thanks also for that. As a NSW resident I'm really feeling this one. There's this huge focus on law and order in the small against individuals, while businesses and organisations are left alone on systemic issues.
"Australia has many fine laws that are being flouted through lack of political will. As we’ve learnt in the past few years, major businesses and famous chefs have for years been systematically underpaying their workers and getting away with it because the Fair Work Commission wasn’t enforcing the law. Misconduct by the major banks was rampant because federal agencies lacked the staff and the will to investigate. Newly built apartment blocks are uninhabitable because state governments have failed to enforce their building codes.
It is a characteristic of Australia today that governments, state and federal, are failing as functional entities. They have allowed vital laws to lapse through inexcusable neglect. They snap into action only when the media expose a vacuum where there is supposed to be an operational core."
