The Public Works review, covering three years of advertising contracts from 2000 to 2003, had been expected to find significant improvements over the previous three years because of changes in the way contracts were managed.
The government revamped some advertising procedures in 2001 after persistent problems with the files.
But the new review, completed last November, found almost no improvements. Investigators could not even locate about five per cent of the files chosen for examination.

On a more positive note, it was refreshing to see that the new Minister wanted his all-hands meeting "tomorrow" rather than months down the road. I think that these people need to start turning things around at the pace at which us mortals do.
Cretin was the boss, and when Sheila Fraser was ready to lay out her findings, Cretin dissolved Parliament.
The teflon PM !!
He took no flak for doing so, but it was so transparent it just makes you laugh out loud.
To this date he has not been called to tell his side, but if and when the inquiry gets under way, I hope they drag him through the dirt.
I don't think this country has had such a dictator in recent memory.
Looks good on him, as he sits at home sipping on his $1000 wine, and smoking pot. He said he might do that when he retired, EH ??
