Attorney-General

Restructure the government department into a ‘flatter’ structure that effectively removes ‘management clogs’.

Middle managers who are working well in their positions will be elevated to the senior management team (that includes the incumbent Minister).  Each senior manager (with the exception of the Minister) will be directly responsible for a number of operational team members and they will report activity to each other in a two-way simplistic and meaningful manner with projected outcomes and time-lines for achieving them.

A particularly complex division of the government’s responsibilities, this department needs to be stream-lined to make it faster to prosecute or otherwise process offenders.  I believe that the portfolio should ideally be held by a Minister with significant legal or para-legal experience and background.
