Yet another tent revival passes into legend.
A quiet one (or two) with TOM last evening developed into a mini BRB. Seems that a couple of the fellahin felt unable to return to planet Earth after attending the latest Sydney CASA tent revival without a restorative glass. A veritable cornucopia of spin, smoke, mirrors and snakes posturing on ladders. Consensus seemed to be that once you enter the dreaming world of the CASA top draw a dose of reality is needed as ‘they’ are in no way connected to the real, gritty world of commercial aviation.
Oliver seems determined to continue applying band aid measures to the new rules. I am surprised that no one thought to mention the way history, on his watch is repeating and categorically confirming Einstein’s theory of insanity. Did you ever wonder why three decades ago it was decided that a new set of rules was essential? Briefly, in the main it was because the cracks in the rules had been papered over so many times, there was a need for mass exemptions and the rules had not kept up with technology. There was also a notion of ‘out come based’ providing an overall better result than overly prescriptive. Yet here we are – again – faced with the same conundrum - again; while the rest of the world are enjoying the benefit of their new rules. Yet CASA remains adamant, the new rules are staying: they have no intention whatsoever, or interest in changing their version of what’s best. OST seems to live in bubble of self satisfied gas, floating above the rest of the world, in the rarefied atmosphere of those who have never had a decision challenged. Much like the two faced Roman god Janus, the smiling exterior façade hides a determination to do nothing except dream up titles and provide happy-clappy rhetoric to mask the malicious intent to not only retain the status quo, but a reverence for the McConvict methodology, with prosecution. This, quite apart from being terminally ‘thick’, is emerging more and more with passage of time, comfort and the support of the Iron ring.
Mind you, the idea of Alliance departing Oz for the Shaky Isles bothers him, probably because if there are questions lobbed in the May estimates, by Senators who already have the answers, he may have be forced to reveal part of the truth a flawed administration presents. But, that will all get lost in the election noise. No matter, once that has dissipated, we can remind him of those questions one more time, or as many times as is necessary to effect real change and real reform.
Aye, no doubt terminal arrogance is a necessary adjunct to massive ignorance. OST should have come for beer or two with some real experts; he may have learned something. But then what has his world to do with ours ? SFA is the robust answer.
Toot toot.
