Time for engineers to speak up?

Check out a blog on the ‘Make it so’ site that has been generating a lot of feedback over the past day.

In his piece, Leonard McDonnell opines: “Experts are brushed aside in favour of opinion polls and focus groups when it comes to determining solutions to some of the most complex problems we have ever faced.

“We have to drag more superheroes into the limelight to help raise our overall awareness of what we face on the road ahead and what our realistic options are. We all know what needs to be done.

“We now need to get behind engineers with the knowledge to develop the answers that will get us there.”

An interesting opinion piece on a day when John Faulkner has said the Australian Labour Party needs to get back to basics and stop listening to focus groups.
