The leaning to authoritarianism is probably because she opted heavily in favor of the proposition that the media-tart judges of Masterchef should be hung, drawn and quartered. And left to stew in their own jus.
Planet Housing NSW breaks free of its earthbound moorings and into the realm of pure theory
Correction: Your local office can still be contacted if you ring their original number. You will then end up on the 1300 HOUSING line. Choose option 3. If you're lucky and the line is not busy, you may get through. Then again, you may wait up to 20 minutes and end up with the call centre anyway. 
Well, it's finally happened!
Housing NSW has now disappeared behind the 1300 HOUSING smokescreen.
And despite 1300 Housing's proud KPI of "every call answered in 3 minutes", a claim always taken with a grain of salt, DH has been trying for an hour to get through.
1st, a 20 minute wait before cut off. Then 3 cutoffs in a row. "Please try again later"...
Oh, and there is now no emergency line, so bad luck if the kitchen is flooding 
The only thing HNSW managed to get consistently right in its cash-strapped past was that emergency maintenance was done promptly and efficiently.Now with the New Maintenance Program's $Millions and its brave new efficiency measures, all that appears to be gone down the gurgler
And on the phone line, there is no option to sort the "Emergency" sheep from the "General Maintenance" goats.
DH has always hypothesised that communications in and out of Broadway Office
disappear into the Broadway Arm of the Bermuda Triangle.
Now it seems that the office itself has been sucked up into the ether.
Why is DH trying to ring HNSW anyway?
About a year ago, DH noticed that the bathroom floor was rotting and had begun to subside. Finally with the new maintenance money, it was replaced. But the plumbers who disconnected everything have not been back to reconnect the water since the job was completed last Tuesday. Daily calls to the Spotless foreman yielded promises to call back which never happened. Now the foreman has been replaced, and she doesn't have the new guy's number. DH would like to know what's happening. And as a concerned citizen, she would like to know if anyone is monitoring Spotless' performance. There are ungenerous mutterings from tenants asking if HNSW has given Spotless a licence to print money.

We had a similar situation with preferred supplier corruption. I had a carpenter attend a job that should have taken two or three days. He employed an apprentice and planned to make the job stretch out to two weeks - until I locked him out. He proceeded to yell outside my window throughout the day as he worked outside like he had never worked before.
I had many problems with the preferred supplier's subs. Only Qbuild attend now.
Housing is a feral system requiring voices to be raised loud and often.
