A pagans last prayer.
Dear Senators.
We have, in the form of Jeff Boyd and David Forsyth two good men tearing their hair out. Why? Well may you ask.
These two good men have, tirelessly, been working to beat the stranglehold of mandarins and the ‘Iron ring’ on the handbrake of the desperately needed reform of CASA. Not the regulations, but the rats nest generating and enforcing some of the most nugatory regulation and inutile policy ever inflicted on an over regulated industry.
Boyd, in particular needs political help, lots of. He needs it now; before the final open escape hatch – the appointment of a deputy DAS who knows what MUST be done – is slammed shut. Once the only escape route is plugged, the good ship Iron ring will sail off into a picture book sunset, taking not only the Senate recommendations and the Forsyth recommendations with it, but the demands, hopes and aspirations of a struggling industry.
An industry which should be generating income for the country; providing jobs, apprenticeships and essential, robust services to those who need them.
It’s the internal (infernal) politics which are holding us back – we know you are all ‘masters of the great game’. Can (will) someone please (as a matter of some urgency) help Boyd cut the Gordian knot.
Selah.
