Yeah, saw that on the internet news early this am. The gist seemed to be that the media was lampooning the deposed Liberals as the "political machine that was hiding".

The truth as far as I have always maintained is that they are after the wrong "political machine."
Hollywood's news stories quotes spell out in detail which 'political' party should be pursued.

As below;- 1)

Commander Rush said the strength and direction of the wind was known beforehand, and questions would be asked of the commanding officer who provided the flight authorisation.
and 2), well "it is understood" that he said it, he must be an expert on helicopters?????/ and their pilots.

The report was handed to Air Chief Marshall Angus Houston six months ago, with the defence force head said to be appalled by the findings, Fairfax reported.
It is understood that he dubbed senior pilots from the squadron "cowboys'' and launched an audit of all helicopter fleets.
Wasn't there a famous quote from a WW11 General protrayed in a film based around Patton, which went something like, "Well, bottlenecks always have the narrowest part at the top, you're fired."

in response to a subordinate complaining about a traffic jam being a bottleneck during a major military push in the war's final stages.

just a reflection.
