Australia is allergic to accountability and responsibility, especially in the corporate sector and, even more so, within government. Sweeping problems under the rug and a game of musical chairs are endemic and rampant; they form a quintessential playbook for achieving a successful career in senior corporate management or government.

Which is also why IT business are required to hold expensive insurance policies, without which they can't approach clients, and which is also why the big four consulting firms have become so popular amongst the senior management: «it is not my fault, they are the ones who did it».
