Meanwhile, at the bus stop.
P2 – “This AM Electric Blue Harfwit was again front & centre for yet another Parliamentary Committee grilling. I'll let you be the judge on how he faired”...
Well done P2 – on the ball, yet again; thanks mate. - Aye, ‘tis more entertaining than MKR, keeps the Senators busy, the audit troops gainfully employed and gives the real villains time, space and wriggle room.
Does Nuremberg or Montreal ring any small bells? Jesus wept; the Halfwit Freudian slip” I’ll pass it off” says it all. Quickly passing the fast moving mini grenade to a more accomplished manipulator, a practiced practitioner of the denial of ‘perceived potential conflict’ of potential embarrassment; for the puppet masters. (Hey, I’m learning double speak – bonus).
Just had enough time to skip through the ‘dead man walking’ video series; (Cheers P2) even so, what becomes clear is the reason Halfwit was promoted, despite protest, to the ASA top job. The parliamentary inquiry will need a focus point and a scapegoat. Halfwit ain’t, never was, could be, or is ever likely to become one of the top dog defence club crew; but even they, this inquiry, have a need of a whipping boy, to throw under the speeding bus.
It’s a good bet this inquiry will end up like every other ‘inquiry’ – shelf ware – with no real, tangible changes to anything; we expect that. Halfwit will be the token sacrifice, some words will be shuffled; and, as the circuit breakers trip, the overload will be safely contained before any damage can be done to the top layers.
There are some big, scary fingers in the big money defence pie, they are appended to even larger greedy hands, which scoop out the goodies; these are well protected hands, secure in the knowledge of absolute protection from those who depend on the crumbs dropped from the high table for sustenance.
Early days yet, I need to do some homework and set the tote board – but there are a couple of short priced favourites emerging; it will be the minor placings which cause the head scratching.
Toot – MTF – toot.
