It's the Public Service, it doesn't have to make sense :-(

One of the best phrases I heard/learned:
  "This is a situation where Logic does not apply"

Seriously, if you want to change this sort of stuff you have to get
involved in Politics and even be prepared to stand for office - in a
major party with a chance of getting in power.

But there's a problem, anyone who wants to be a Pollie is about the last
person you'd want to be in power :-(
