The mantra of perceived conflict of interest.
Hood – tabled a document.
“I consider that my prior appointments as Executive Manager Operations at the Civil Aviation Safety Authority, and Executive General Manager for Airservices Australia, provides me with a unique perspective in relation to transport safety matters. I am also conscious of my accountabilities in relation to managing any perceived conflict of interest in relation to any of the portfolios I previously held.”
“I have therefore, in relation to the Norfolk ditching accident, declared the potential for a perceived conflict of interest to the ATSB Commission on 8 June 2016, before I commenced as Chief Commissioner, and also to the Minister in accordance with the requirements of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013”.
“I have undertaken not to participate in the Commission's consideration of the investigation or the approval process for the release of this report and the ATSB's Aviation Commissioner, Chris Manning, will be the Commission spokesperson for the report”.
“Possible Perceived conflict of interest”. Must be the new version of “I was in Montreal”, it’s get a fair amount of use by professional snake oil salesmen at Estimates – must have something to do with being associated with the ‘Match fit’ mob. The words of Whostoblame adopted by his catamites; (Retch), can’t these bus stop partners dream up their own weasel words? Just so it don't sound 'too' rehearsed.
Well punters; it’s a three card draw to decide which horse Hoody will be riding in the Conflict Cup.
Errant Dobber – Gelding; by Golden Immunity out Queens Evidence. Raced hard this season, last outing at the Estimates Stakes saw a revival of hope for the connections as a last minute dash for the tape brought the crowd to it’s feet as ED stole the race by a full head. The “Whistle-blower” stable is, once again, becoming a punters favourite. Plenty for the horse @ 5/2.
Independence Gambit – Filly; by Distance Me out of Golden promises. ‘Flighty’ is the best way to describe this maiden; and a challenge for the bookies. On form and handled correctly, the Filly has produced some stunning results – at good odds. But any serious investment is expected to take a while to mature. Patchy support ante post @ 4/1 but could shorten after the Pel-Air Miracle Mile .
Rectal Coverage – Gelding; by Top Cover out of Desperation Made. A solid performer and always in, or close to the top money; and, a cornerstone of many a trifecta win. Solid credentials as a place getter, every race. The fabled, incredibly wealthy connections of this syndicated horse have and will continue to go to extreme lengths to ensure that neither they, or their friends are disappointed with a result. Wins are rightfully expected, places a certainty in nearly every event. Anything better than Evens is going to be hard to find.
There may be a challenge yet to the choice of Hood as a contestant. There is no doubt that he is well and truly qualified to ride in the Conflict Cup, none whatsoever. But, if the Stewards have done their jobs properly and identified the alleged nature of the Hood conflict and his part in what was clearly a failed attempt to fix the Pel-Air Miracle Mile; then all bets are off.
So, dear punters bet early for best odds; wagers will be refunded should there be change in the field or in the prospective riders.
Toot-toot.
