incompetence...
I've always taken great comfort in the fact that my pollies were on the whole clueless knobs. It would be much more terrifying and dare I say dangerous if they knew what they were doing and were effective at implementing it. The bumbling fools we have are neither. Yes, it costs money (cough, NBN multi technology mix) but it's no danger to society in any fundamental way.
