 The Hollow Man...err..Muppet 

Dear miniscule..it has come to my attention that the Chief Muppet, of our once esteemed aviation safety watchdog, is taking the Mickey Bliss on your watch, see here - Overdue & Obfuscated #post14  - or here...

Dear Dreary,

I so dearly would have liked to have passed comment on your latest blog post but alas for some passing strange reason my IP address is red flagged from your site?? Maybe it is a glitch, or maybe not. However as I know that you have a minion monitoring Aunty Pru, I therefore surmise there is a reasonable probability that you will receive my comment in due course. So here goes, with a query that has recently been troubling me... Confused  

Maybe I have missed something but back on 24 April, in an article by Steve Creedy in the Oz (CASA must consider cost of regulation: Warren Truss), your ultimate boss (i.e. the miniscule) told Steve C...

"..Mr Truss told The Australian the CASA letter and a similar statement of expectations sent to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau fulfilled a promise arising from the Forsyth Review.."

...yet when I went to view your boss's SOE on the (unlike the TSBC website.. Wink ) convoluted, non-user friendly ATSB website, the relevant page was (& still is) yet to be updated:
 
So Dreary my query is..where is the miniscule's new SOE addressed to your agency, cause buggered if I can find it, or in the words of former member of Parliament Pauline Hansen...

"Please explain??" Huh

 
Benefit of the doubt & all that, I thought maybe the CM is working on his 'Statement of Intent'  & will make your much anticipated SOE publicly available at the same time (i.e. on the 'technically correct' day, 01 July 2015). Sadly on reviewing the applicable page this does not seem to be the case:

Minister's expectations


Minister's Statement of Expectations

• Statement of Expectations
  A brief overview and Minister's Expectations and the ATSB's Statement of Intent.
  

 
Statement of Intent

• Statement of Intent
  This Statement of Intent describes the ATSB's functions and approach and outlines priorities which will form the basis for the ATSB's business and resource allocations. Those priorities and related key business outputs are consistent with the Minister's expectations and broader Government policy in the area of transport safety.

Why you never took the chance to dismiss the CM back when you first took over the reins is beyond my politically naïve comprehension, God knows you had (& still have) much evidence of incompetence & complicity in the PelAir cover-up scandal. However to let this individual get away with thumbing his nose at your authority once again, would quite frankly be the ultimate insult to your long career in public servitude.

----Yours P2
