Aye, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
That’s the truly annoying part, ain’t it? The good intentions and willingness to negotiate wasted on the incompetent or the inexperienced. Take the engineering bun fight, leave the ‘heavy’ brigade’ (ALAEA etc.) out, just for a moment and look at the AMROBA argument, the expertise, the qualifications of those with the expertise and the total of experience speaking. Then look across the table and compare the other side – it’s an unbalanced equation; then think on the free advice and ways to ‘fix’ things offered by Cannane and his group. Then consider how that advice is treated. It's all arse about.
Look at the operational side – do the comparison again.
Compare the competent Hirst to the team he is forced to deal with.
In fact, look at any of the CASA crew who (with a few exceptions) are gainsaying the assistance offered, the expertise made freely available and the investment in time, money and effort (read blood, sweat and tears) in gaining that invaluable experience.
All of that balanced against the incompetence, arrogance and an almost complete lack of real life experience – from those who seek to derail even the inestimable, independent Forsyth and disparage the likes of Fawcett and Xenophon.
But watch: – the tea and biscuits arrive; the chat is done; and, there is not so much as even a broken off tea cup handle left as a reminder of industry outrage. Not a ripple to be seen on the calm, placid, putrid waters of the Fort Fumble duck pond as they wave bye-bye to yet another industry delegation as it wanders off down the well paved road to hell's own gate.
Selah.
