If the CASA board give oversight to the Minister, perhaps we are lax in not attacking them first. If the Director and his crony's are an acceptable state of play within CASA, we should wonder if the Minister is getting the right information from the board to act on, and the senators are perhaps not being inquisitorial enough, when attacking the body of the serpent instead of the head.
I'm not giving the Minister a way out here, simply stating that all his vast ignorance may not be attributal to his genetic and psychological makeup.
And take no comfort from the shadow minister.
