GD – “The 20 year Infrastructure Head Murky MrDak has set Australian aviation back 20 years.”
Ah; the Murky Machiavellian, once again, like Macbeth’s Banquo – the ghost which returns to haunt the feast. No one could deny the breath taking brilliance of some of the schemes executed, with remarkable precision by this man. In a way it is as well for the country that he worked for the government – for had he have chosen a more criminal path, the world would know, and probably applaud his talents as the concierge of crime; a modern day Moriarty.
It was I confess a treat to watch him ‘work’ a Senate Estimates panel. I will always regret that he batted for the wrong team. Had his talents been utilised toward making Australian aviation squeaky clean and best in the world; we would have had a stellar system – which worked. Alas. He was a worthy adversary and the lack of him on the front row is beginning to show. The RRAT committee even manage to score the odd run every now and again as the holes in the dykes appear. I barrack for the RRAT committee – but I do miss the MM, the Darth Vader of the dark side. But; every good yarn needs a villain, pity is we have no hero’s to combat the dark side.
While ‘the force’ is with you enjoy the moment. Me? I’m just plain ordinary thirsty. I shall have another while I contemplate why ICAO allow this macabre pantomime to continue – surely they will get off of their collective beam ends soon. How much longer will they allow the Australian departments to not only take the Mickey Bliss – but make a standing joke of the work they and the FAA try to do?
“Yes - please serious thinking requires lubrication.”
Afterthought – maybe if we got the Senate Committee legless – they’d get a better grip. But – can they marshal a darts team? That is the question.
