It's getting to the stage that when a new and 'wonderful' change to current procedures is flagged, I can't be stuffed getting hold of the material and pre-briefing myself about it, because this farcical kind of retraction and backflipping seems to happen every bloody time.
If true, this is frightening. Propose a rule, sell it as if it's law, then back off when what everyone has predicted about its uselessness comes true....sake!
