The media juggernaut knocking the little moitorbike of good policy off the road...

It's a little while since I've posted here, but you can read my latest post on Croakey here. It's a reaction to this Inside Story piece about how those making policy know what makes good policy, and the sort of things that work, but instead find themselves making policy based on how the media covers the issues.

I'm stuck. How could we start to make good policy instead? I'd love to hear your ideas...
