Another example of new speak. There was a great interview on the 7.30 report with Bob Hawke's ex speech writer. Cant rememebr his name but he had written a few books on the subject . Hopefully someone out there will remember his name .

THe example he gave was in the inquiry into the vic bush fires the fire authority asked people to 'populate a document' instead of filling out the form :-D

Another great one highlighted on Hungry Beast was a media statement regarding a mining accident reported a rockfall as a 'gravity falling incident'

Most people see it as it is BULLS*&T
