Could it really be?
Surely not? 31 years in the public service and only 3 years into a 5 year contract at CASA, he has decided to walk away from his $500,000 per annum Government gravy train? It will be interesting to see if this happens. His mate Mike MrDak, another career bureaucrat became expendable last month after a similar amount of time at the taxpayer trough. What is interesting is that ‘Scotty from marketing’ has not been too shy about boning senior bureaucrats that bring him grief or bring the spotlight onto the Party. Mr Buckley has certainly assisted in spotlighting Mr Carmody’s Department and it’s woeful and unethical performance. Hopefully Glenn’s lawyers have really got the goods on CASA. However, if Carmody leaves that will not resolve the deeper systemic issues. The CASA require a top to bottom overhaul, a compete gutting, restructure and renaming. The starting point would not be Mr Crawford (who will eventually fall on his sword), but it needs to start with Aleck and Anastasi. Take out the pillars that hold the walls up and the rest will come crashing down.
Glen, you could, after all, be the fuse that finally lit the CASA explosion. Time will tell. To that you will be owed many a robust beer. An AOM could even be considered. Yes if it proves to be true, you will be the man who brings about the necessary changes to CASA after 32 years of misery and mismanagement.
