Predictable.


Killer's case manager was overloaded. The probation officer monitoring Graeme Burton after his prison release had too many high-risk offenders for one person to manage, a Corrections Department boss has admitted.

The inquest had earlier heard Burton was assessed by a clinical psychologist as being a veritable psychopath at moderate-to-high risk of violently reoffending ... who should not have been released.
Though he was implicated in three serious attacks on inmates and alleged to have offered a prisoner $8000 to do hits on two guards just months before his release, the Parole Board was not told this by prison staff.
All of the above was entirely predictible, as was the mayhem executed by Burton.
Abrogation of responsibility is a Public Service thing ... one could not expect less from quangos.
Aha, no one to blame.

The problem here seems to be that no-one particular person is supposedly to blame. From where I am sitting, it looks like many people are to blame, or at the least, need to take responsibility for their inaction or action as the case may be.
