P2;

So all the Joint & Senate Parliamentary inquiries, multiple Estimate inquests and 2xANAO audits were all for nought and the Senators were being just a tad overzealous and a little paranoid - yeah right...BOLLOCKS!

The audit report lost me at the point where the 'Great White Elephant Paper' of 2009 was mentioned.....

All this shows is the depth and scope of the game in play. Governments and their bureaucrats are quite simply 'untouchable'.  It is an interesting game; inquiries, investigations, audits, reviews, recommendations, discussions, and always the same outcome - nothing wrong here, nothing to see here, move along people. I guess that's why we are $500b in debt, millions upon millions of that money can be attributed to the lengths of obsfucation, spin doctoring, stretching and covering that takes place just to ensure a Miniscule doesn't end up with egg on his well manicured face. I mean after all, Goldman Sachs Turdball was happy to saddle us with $70b in submarine debt just to save the ass of Pyne and win the election.

I wouldn't even agree that ASA received a slap with a wet lettuce leaf. It is more like they were masturbated with cotton wool.
