Mulgan, Richard creator text xu| 1997 continuing ng p.25-36 There is a sameness to writing on public accountability which does not always do justice to the subject. With responsibility and accountability conflated and an idealised version of the Westminster model held up as the only test, ministers constantly appear irresponsible. Yet a more complex account of public accountability is possible, one which acknowledges that no single institution can undertake the important work of ensuring accountability from ministers, the parliament and public servants. - Reproduced Public administration Accountability Australian Journal of Public Administration 180718
