澳大利亚生产力委员会主席丹尼尔·伍德在悉尼发表演讲，针对政界人士攻击公共机构的做法发出警告1。伍德的言论是对西澳总理罗杰·库克的直接回应，库克此前曾将生产力委员会称为"东海岸小丑"，并因其关于商品及服务税分配的报告而对其发动批评1。
伍德指出，在当今重视传播效应的舆论环境中，"攻击信使比辩论信息的细节更简单"1。她强调，政界对公共机构的攻击行为会直接侵蚀公众对专业知识和机构本身的信任1。伍德表示，长期经济增长最终取决于生产力增长1。
伍德将政府权力被挪作私人或政治利益的现象称为"灰色腐败"，强调这种做法对经济增长构成危害1。她以阿尔巴尼斯政府为例指出相关风险，涉及选举承诺拨款案中的争议，包括向总理选区一家高尔夫俱乐部拨款600万美元1。
Danielle Wood, chair of the Australian Productivity Commission, has cautioned government leaders against eroding public confidence by attacking independent institutions.1 Speaking in Sydney, Wood responded directly to Western Australian Premier Roger Cook's criticism of the Productivity Commission, in which Cook labeled the organization "east coast clowns."1
Wood emphasized that such attacks represent a counterproductive approach to policy debate. "In a world obsessed with message penetration, it is easier to attack the messenger than to debate the details of the message," Wood stated.1 She underscored that long-term economic growth depends on productivity gains, and that maintaining trust in expertise and institutions is essential to preventing what she described as "grey corruption"—the misuse of government power to favor private or political interests rather than the national good.1 Wood cited the Albanese government's controversies surrounding election commitment funding allocations, including a A$6 million allocation for a golf club in the Prime Minister's electorate, as an example of how such practices can damage institutional credibility.1
