Greenrock has been shocked at Govt's inertia regarding implementation of their own 2011 Energy White Paper recommendations, and in March offered Government tips including how to reduce their $20M annual spend on electricity.
The SAGE awards were offered for great ideas that will lead to:
- Streamlining of Government
- Greater efficiency
- Enhancing accountability
- Better service to the public through privatisation
Today's announcement, which features on the SAGE Commission website reads;

Greenrock says... Government need to lead by example and change their 'do as we say but not as we do' approach to the environment and sustainability. The big question remains - Will Government take SAGE advice?
