Farmer Joe welcome to AuntyPru. Your roasted spud smothered in butter, cheese and mayo is in the mail. As part of the IOS WHS induction to AuntyPru I must advise you that with you being a farmer and all that, the 'feeding of the chooks' is not permitted in the lunchroom or in front of other IOS.

Now, The Ferryman has pretty much answered your question, but I would like to know this - if CAsA can audit an operator, issue NCN's and wrap a timeframe of 20 days (or is it 21? I've forgotten) in which you must respond with root cause and remedial action, why can't the same principle apply to senate estimates or senate inquiries? If CAsA, ASA or ATSBeaker do not respond adequately and on time then they are penalised. Perhaps executives are docked bonus money, the organisation is 'fined' dollars out of its annual budget, executives receive 'performance punitive measures' etc. The problem is that there is no incentive for the alphabet soup organisations to take the Senators or anybody else seriously as they are unaccountable. Change the accountability status and watch how quickly these crooks start to reply with explanations and with fixes. Otherwise it's just the same tautological shit just a different day.
