The way is shut.-

And so it will remain until the opposition grow a set and take a stand with a view to dismantling the effect this 'white paper' will have on the future; if indeed there is chance of a productive future.

The White paper, is, of itself not sinister – in theory. It could actually become a cornerstone of progress; alas...Listen (you'll need a bucket) to Sen. White :-

And be afraid – the politicising of the current situation is sickening, sinister and misleading. The part which attacks the previous government 'inquiry' and attempts to reign in the Quangos is not only simply dismissed, but vilified. The Senator seems to have conventionally forgotten that the it was the labour government, their 'white paper' and Albo who created the current mess.  –It is worth mentioning  that the fuel levy imposed to fund the CASA bail out after a seriously bad audit is still on and that it was Albo who created the Quango (pigs in clover) system we have today. A train wreck the industry is still trying to clear up.

White set the feast for the department and the minions gorged themselves as they strolled through the easiest session they ever had. Instead of a 'please explain' they were gifted an advertorial – worthy of Channel 7 Morning show in the vein of 'Pee-Less' tablets or electric tooth brush sales pitch.

Is this really what the travelling public and a crippled industry needs?
