Allies in Colour

Dear Australia,

Here’s a math question for you:

How many advisors does it take to change a lightbulb so that the government finally sees the light? 🤔

When the government relies on advisory stakeholders from funded bodies for advice, but ends up delivering policies that miss the mark, it begs the question – how many advisors does it really take? 🤷‍♀️

(Note that many of these advisors come from govt funded peak bodies/commissions)

Advisors claiming their advice wasn’t heeded leading to flawed policies, while the government strives to make the right moves for re-election, poses a conundrum.

And if we, the people, must navigate these advisory channels to advocate for our needs, the puzzle deepens.🕵‍♀️

So, when individuals boast about years or even decades on advisory panels, is it a flex anymore? If it’s true your advice isn’t being heeded then why are you still sitting on these panels? Who are you actually benefiting?

Allies in Colour is your National, Independent, Peak Body for Multicultural Australia, Expats, and New Citizens.

And no, I did not wake up to choose violence today 😇
