Let’s play ping pong, and for one I will ask for action not more intentions.
Ms. Spence is excused? Why?
Takes the best part of $700,000 pa from the public purse. Fronts the RRAT with Majorie Pagani and hasn’t a clue about a possible $350,000 court cost in favour of CASA from Angel Flight? Sits there with her top legal manager ($500,000pa) and accepts that he will not answer the Senators. Had no briefing answers, extraordinary, the most inept display of government at work you will likely ever see. The charade laid bare.
Agreed words matter, your top Public Sector apparatchiks certainly do know how words matter.
‘Expectations’ could have been ‘Directions.’
Spot the difference? Who invented the term Statement of Expectations? Could have been the same individual who excused an officer’s lie about a certain ‘left hand elevator’ as a “discrepancy.”
And so on and so on, work your way down.
Consultation, work plan, reviews, culture. Focus. Cost and regulation reduction (same words letter to me 1989). Communique, I.e. PR spin, not ‘minutes of meetings.’ A work plan (you mean they don’t have that from the last time? Really?) for the customer service satisfaction survey, and don’t forget the report for same. No kidding.
Not one single “will accomplish ..” let alone “by date….”
“Stakeholders,” Who are they? Those that were invited to take part in one famous CASA customer satisfaction survey?
No, the purpose of this SoE is solely designed to quiet the maddening crowd.
A strategic and temporary withdrawal by the masters of obfuscation, an art form honed over decades. Remember the Forsyth hopes, how amusing, “just an opinion.”
We have made inroads, so how to placate and silence the critics and disguise the truth? Truth is that the DPM decided not to cross CASA and cause it to make reforms. Reforms that could easily have been in place months ago.
In the wider scheme of things the DPM decided not to upset the Canberra Public Sector, with its huge sensitivity to the exercise of power that goes directly to the pay packets and careers within Canberra’s 400,000 plus inhabitants.
Words of intent, cover the main bases to sooth the discontented (malcontents), recognising that they have gained a modicum of traction. Mention most of their concerns and they’ll forget the others.
Glen Buckley, the aircraft registration deletions, no action on the miss use of Commonwealth airports. No plan for GA in the Sydney basin. ATSB. Lack of BITRE statistics, how many flying schools, charter operators and maintenance engineers? How many employed in GA businesses today, ten and twenty years ago?
Not all you would find in an SoE, but all matters that have been left mouldering away for more years than most can remember, that is if they’ve been around that long.
I say keep on and do not accept intentions as substitute for actions. Don’t maintain the rage, make it more so in this lead up to the ballot box. We stop now, they win, again.
