Quote:The Senate enquiry apparently hasn’t stopped the ICCPM rorting with Airservices Australia but with the National Audit Office due to report this month let’s wait and see what happens with it.
The anticipation far exceeds the reality of what will be ‘discovered’ and disappointment looms large. The smoke is within the ToR, the mirrors within the structure. The ANAO may well unearth some minor credit card indiscretions, the great biscuit tin scandal or even some lunch voucher ‘fraud’ but the ToR will prevent them getting to the ‘juicy’ stuff. You wait, you shall see.
ASA have been ‘at it’ for years at all levels, all very legal and within their remit. They have built a layer of top cover which is almost impervious to attack, again all kosher and within their ‘charter’. This is easily seen in Estimates where the obfuscation of disingenuous people is reflected in the contempt displayed, the arrogance revealed in the answers to open questions and the smug satisfaction on those faces as they emerge from the hearings.
There is, I’m told an election to be held soon; neither side will want a scandal to break out, as both sides of politics are culpable; guilty of neglect and hiding behind the 'mystique' of the 'safety' net. This is hardly a ‘recent’ discovery. I wonder just how much of the national debt has found it’s way into the back pockets of those who have unfettered access to the public purse? I’ll die wondering, for the real truth will never emerge.
Audit – phooey – business as usual says the sign on the gold plated doors.
Toot toot.
