There used to be such an organisation. It was called "Dick Smith".

Unfortunately, despite its formidable electoral strength and influence, it was effectively neutered by falling for the temptation of sinecures (CASA Chairmanship) and the distractions of "task forces" (remember the pre-election stunt that kept Dick quiet for the duration of the campaign, after which the "task force" disappeared).

The level of naïveté also manifested itself in the 'User Pays' principle. The reality has been ever-increasing costs in return for ever-decreasing standards of infrastructure and services.
