FWIW.
TB – “I would encourage those that submitted submissions to that enquiry to resubmit them in their original form if public submissions are called for.”
IF – if this damn fool minister is allowed to persist with yet another, expensive, time wasting, new ‘review’, particularly a one using BITRE under ToR specified by Murky’s mob; then there are two options and not many choices. Boycott or resubmit those provided to the Forsyth ASRR.
One of the big ‘unknown’s’ is, will industry be invited to contribute? – I have tried to read between the lines and get a sense of the shape and form the ‘review’; but can’t and BITRE is hardly likely to be interested in the same data set the good Rev espoused. We shall just have to wait and see what emerges and what form it takes. One thing however is clear, this is a purely ‘political’ move, cynical, time consuming and designed to keep the growing noise, demanding real reform down to a level the minister can safely ignore.
There are those who, I believe, imagine this is a big win and some good will come of it. The history of inquiry, review, and report proves, categorically otherwise. That yet another preordained review outcome will improve matters; is a fiction; naïve, demonstrating an almost childlike belief in the Easter bunny, Santa and the Tooth faery. I note some elements of the ‘new blood’ are claiming some kind of ‘win’ and actually falling into the oldest traps in the game. Those traps for young players have survived generations of ‘new blood’, because they work. In part the traps rely on ‘ego’ and a the belief that the ‘new’ approach will solve the problems. Only the young, naïve ego can withstand the repeated hammering and is blind enough to assist with yet another scam being foisted on industry. Only the young, naïve ego is deaf enough to ignore the pitiful cries and dying agonies of the Rev. Forsyth’s good work and that of the Senate committee during a slow, lingering death. Only a fool ignores history, which, like a bad pizza, repeats.
Personally - I shall boycott the ‘new review’. Life is too short to waste on triviality and I stopped believing in Knights in shining armour rescuing fair damsels and riding off into the sunset; many, many years ago. Mud, blood, shit and hard labour win battles; not some ponce on a white horse.
My submission will be succinct – “Stick it where the sun don’t shine “.
Toot toot.
