    After that stakeholders’ meeting, this failure is no surprise. I didn’t come away brimming with newfound confidence in either the political or the professional management at Labour.

    Im so glad the Minister is fed up of excuses. Thats all those failing departments do is make excuses. Set of failure. Set of Jokers. Think they can always depend on excuses.

    Wow, what an embarassing disgrace. Implementing an online system for work permits should have been an easy, quick win that was basically handed to you, and you made a complete hash of it. Someone should have told the minister that online systems are supposed to make things faster and easier, not harder and slower.
