Quote:P2 – “Here is the first two Senators representing the concerns of their constituents, that have now got a wake up call on how CASA is”. etc
O’Sullivan and Williams have added their names and ‘personal’ experience to the ever growing list of those disenchanted with CASA and the department. A little dose of CASA goes a long way and the benefits of actually talking to the local Senator can, eventually have an effect.
The thing concerns me is the lack of action; after Pel-Air and the Norfolk inquiry there was enough steam in the boiler to decimate both ATSB and CASA; what happened? Not much is what. Then the good Rev Forsyth did his bit, the Canadians did what they could within the narrow confines of their brief; what happened ? Not much is what.
We did get Oliver, who, despite high hopes has proven to be exactly as predicted by his old boss, plenty of hat and no cattle.
The Senators have earned my respect and good will, the hard way and I mean no disrespect when I say that despite their best, collective efforts there has been little achieved. It ain’t their fault, but someone, somewhere, somehow has got to bring the watchdogs to heel. Maybe the new DPM will take more than a passing glance at a dying industry and take the advice of the Senators and make real, meaningful reform happen.
I’ve probably more chance of winning the lottery.
Toot toot.
