Yes, it's very short.
In terms of political and administrative cultures, my suggestion is that what is needed is to develop open, listening and reflective cultures to replace defensive, controlling ones, if public trust is to be maintained. We need to shift from command and control public administration to listening and learning approaches. We need to admit errors, accept responsibility, correct them and learn.
There are actually organizations. There's a Centre for Public Impact that's working with governments around the world to implement exactly this change. I really would highly recommend you ask somebody from there to come and present to you. It's amazing the work that they're doing.
Then on the last point, the lack of constructive scrutiny by Parliament, I recommend that there be an ongoing parliamentary committee with oversight functions that would interact with NGOs and whistle-blowers to ensure system feedback and ongoing maintenance.
I'm taking part now in an international movement. There's actually a committee being led by the U.K. It's amazing the work that they're doing. They're passing a new law. It's a private member's bill that's just whooshing it's way through Parliament. There's an all-party parliamentary group that is working intimately with civil society whistle-blower support groups. WhistleblowersUK is providing the secretariat to the all-party parliamentary group. They are in the process of passing a law to establish an office of the whistle-blower, which has teeth and can issue sanctions against wrongdoers.
