Why was another expert needed?.." Why indeed? And why is it necessary for our media craving MH370 super sleuth, ATSB Chief Commissioner, Martin Dolan; to be in attendance in Toulose?
I couldn't agree more. In this era of budget cuts and government penny pinching it is bad enough that our high profile Pollies are misusing and rorting travel in a multitude of ways, but now we have the upper echelon bureaucrats like 'he who adores facial hair' flying around the world here and there, on a whim, with no tangible benefits. These guys do travel business class internationally as a minimum, plus they stay at 5 star accommodation and receive generous daily allowances, and then meal, travel and sundry expenses. A 5 day trip for just Beaker would see no change come from $20k worth of taxpayer money.
To start with Beaker can offer no technical input. He is not an accident investigator from the field, and never will be. He is a public servant who worked for Comcare and other minion littered bloated government departments. In fact having Beaker over in France is just adding distraction to the real workers and probably slowing up the process. Why can't Beaker do a Skype hook-up and patch in for a teleconference? It would save $20k, he could relate the information to a footstool who could then flick the transcript/minutes through to the Miniscules minions or Sluggers beloved PMC for careful scrutiny and re-wording lest they say something wrong. Keep the bearded one at home. Job done. Money in the bank. Sensible, fiscal management of our fu#@ing money when all of us taxpayers are getting screwed, rather than wasting it on Australia's Muppet show.......
