Senate Inquiry, Hearing Program 4th Nov 2011
I couldn't believe when he was asked to stay longer
He works for an airline with a lot of flights every day to Canberra, shows how much respect he has for the process.
But he's getting a bit ****ty now with some non gimme questions that Bob Brown is giving
I have a flight to catch so I have to go by xx:xx
But he's getting a bit ****ty now with some non gimme questions that Bob Brown is giving
His tactic (as would anyones be, I guess) is to focus on minutiae as quickly as possible and go into as much detail as possible to chew up time on items he is confident with.
He will be watching a clock thinking, 25 more minutes, 20 minutes, 15.....almost there..almost there.
Needs professional questioning.
Very significant he stated technical representation is 'very very rarely' at board level.

FF point of View
The problem for Qantas is that is is currently run by a CEO and board that are driven more by an ideological obsession with management prerogative than by any understanding of the emerging workplace of the 21st Century. This last act of lunacy is just the last in a long line since it's privatisation. I personally don't give a rat's arse if it disappears tomorrow so long as the staff can get jobs with another airline that will treat them as valuable assets of the company, not liabilities to be got rid of.

That would be Doug Cameron, who just said AJ is squirming like Former President Nixon out of answering questions.
To which AJ said to Senator Cameron, "this is like a McCarthy trial" (read as McCarthyism).
