BANGKOK — Thailand's billionaire former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra said Tuesday he wants to return from self-exile before his July 26 birthday, in a tweet he posted just days before a general election. The 73-year-old policeman turned telecoms tycoon, twice elected premier but ousted by a military coup in 2006, said he was ready to face justice after spending the past 15 years outside the kingdom to avoid corruption charges he long maintained were politically motivated. The opposition Pheu Thai party, fronted by Thaksin's daughter Paetongtarn, is ahead in most opinion polls for Sunday's vote, increasing speculation that he may finally make good on repeated promises to return to Thailand.

The ACT party's public service policy released today shows it has no concept of why the public service needs to be independent of the whims of Ministers. "ACT wants to turn back the clock more than 100 years and allow our independent public service to be more susceptible to inappropriate political interference," said Kerry Davies, National Secretary for the Public Service Association, Te Pūkenga Here Tikanga Mahi. ACT today announced it would amend the Public Service Act to allow Ministers to set three-year public performance targets for chief executives and set performance pay for them, among a range of measures it claims would drive better performance of departments.
