Commissions of Enquiry are our ways of looking at complex problems in the current political system. They are problematic for many reasons: holding them is at the discretion of politicians, the time and effort needed to set them up, the time they take to take evidence, participation, there are no guarantees that the findings will be adopted, cherry picking individual recommendations (point solutions creeping in), and the implementation processes not being reviewed by the people who looked at the problem in the first place. More fundamentally, the process is a quasi-judicial one, as far as I know there is no application of systems thinking to the problem areas. This is just too cumbersome and slow to be effective.
