Of Dick and 'dicks'
'That man';
"The move comes as speculation mounts in aviation circles that the Airservices board and Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss, whose portfolio covers aviation, are leaning towards appointing acting chief executive Jason Harfield to the position permanently".
Surely not? Now, considering that Mr Truss is not capable of passing comment of his own accord, nor could he manage the sale of one 5kg bag of peeled potatoes, I will direct my comment towards the actual Minister, Mr MrDak - Minister MrDak, surely the CEO role will be advertised globally in a transparent manner from which the best suited person out of a robust pool of applicants will be selected to manage this billion dollar business? Surely an executive recruitment process which is undertaken independently and in an unbiased manner by a reputable world leader in recruitment practises would be engaged so as to ensure that no collusion, nepotism, cronyism or cynicism can be levelled against Prime Minister Turnbull, who is after all ultimately accountable for what takes place in his ministries?
The vegemite kid;
"Former Civil Aviation Authority chair, businessman and aviator Dick Smith said he had been contacted by “a number of people who would be really excellent for the job” but they had not seen the position advertised. “If they are thinking of doing an inside job that would be a disaster; they have a lot of problems and need a new person from outside,” Mr Smith said.
“This is a billion-dollar-a-year business; they should be advertising it around the world”
I agree wholeheartedly Dick, well said. Half-inch serves as part of the ASA executive management team. Now, with recurrent morale issues, credit card fraud, questionable tendering, senate concerns and pure waste of taxpayer monies, why would you recruit internally from the executive team who would be across these issues or even part of these issues? An organisation that has raised the eyebrow of the ANAO who have actioned an urgent audit. Why reuse damaged goods? Worlds best practise? Ha. I don't think so. The place needs fresh blood, not putrid old clotted blood. And while they are at it how much longer can Houston stay, what a complete joke.
Now I understand that Warren Truss wouldn't have a clue who would make a good CEO because the only thing he understands about business is the 'business of plonking his head in the trough', however his Boss, Mr Turdball knows about business, he has been there done that. So I would suggest that PM Turdball keep an eye on Warren and Minister MrDak and ensure that ASA gets a real CEO, not some Armani wearing trough ingrained nupty.
After all, you don't promote a sufferer of cigarette caused lung cancer to the role of CEO of Phillip Morris, and you don't promote Jeffrey Dhamer to GM Human Resources!!
Tick tock ASA, the IOS grow restless
