Lights, camera – Um - action?
Sunday is always (nearly) ‘admin’ day for AP; tidy up session and filing. Not often I look forward to doing the necessary, I begrudge the time but needs must etc. On Sunday the shameful saga of Daren 6D-AGAD will be rightfully consigned to the Hall of Shame, where it truly belongs. The Chester ‘era’ will forever be known as one of the most shameful, destructive, deceitful useless periods in the long, sad, sorry history of ministerial ineptitude in relation to matters aeronautical. I don’t understand how he dare show his face in public. Anyway – he’s gone; a gentle riddance.
A gentle riddance. Draw the curtains, go.
Let all of his complexion choose me so.
And so; we enter the Barnaby era
There was ease in Casey's manner as he stepped into his place;
there was pride in Casey's bearing and a smile on Casey's face.
And when, responding to the cheers, he lightly doffed his hat,
no stranger in the crowd could doubt 'twas Casey at the bat
The opening line to the poem ‘Casey at the bat’ (Thayer) “The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Mudville nine that day;” seems somewhat prophetic for the aviation industry, the team in all kinds of bother and all hope pinned on ‘Casey’. But Joyce has available to him the same tools Chester had; we must hope he has the good sense to use them, properly and intelligently. Joyce has an excellent, united, educated RRAT committee which can provide intelligent briefing and sound advice. Joyce has available to him Sen. David Fawcett and the Rev. Forsyth, both of whom are excellent, far seeing, honest men. Should Joyce win industry confidence then he will be positioned to be one of the best ‘ministers’ in the history of aviation.
The big question is will he use the tools available or will he simply slip into the lazy ways of his predecessor and follow the slippery advice of snake oil salesmen, charlatans and ‘quack’ doctors? All to play for. Joyce is going to be a busy man – he will need good advice, there are only two taps at the bar; only one provides sparkling ale. Your shout minister – choose your poison..
Toot toot.
