Sorry to say, but to me it looks like this:
1) The winner? The Rudd government by foisting an overwhelming 'whitewash' on the Australian public.
2) The loser? The Australian aviation industry and Australian public.
3) Safety enhancements? Absolutely 5/8ths of the square root of fcuk-all by the looks of things while the present idiot minister remains the minister, and the present idiot Secretary of the Department serves out his new term of appointment as Secretary.
There's an old saying Frank which says that no matter how much lipstick you put on a pig, it's still going to be a pig. What more can I say?
