Talking of the CASA Board, other than get free lunch and pretend to report to the minister, what else do they do?
They are not meant to do much at all. They are an extra layer of protection between CASA and the Minister. Minister's must be protected at all costs.
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.
Good luck Frank. Politicians are untouchable. Look at past history in just the past few years - Defense Force billion dolar screw ups, ceiling bats/BER another billion dollar screw up, hundreds of millions being spent (some estimate it will be closer to a billion dollars) just to reward one foreign minister and buy him a seat on the UN panel and the list goes on......A totally protected and shielded species who can spend OUR taxpayer money at will to buy themselves out of or into trouble with an absolutely 100% no recourse or accountability clause attached.
But anyway, if the Senators are gunning for a top level political scalp good luck to them. After all, the whole exercise, regardless of the outcome is merely play money to them anyway, after all the taxpayer is funding all of this. Just add the bill to the rest of the worthless debt they are loading us up with for eternity ! Oh yes I forgot, seeing that we are becoming further indebted and our quality of life is being eroded by the day due to our government lets just throw another half a billion dollars of money we don't have to aid Indonesia while we cant even afford our own fu#king basic school ,hospital and road system.
It should take less than 23 years to complete and promulgate everything seeing as they have done this much work to date.
Hmmm, you shouldn't use words like 'promulgate' Frank. Sounds like the type of wank jargin the Board spew forth.
