Mr Murphy (SMH) like all journo's is seriously muzzled by fear of litigation but had a lash at it; the writer was obliged, I expect to 'fluff' it up for the punters; so the messages get lost in the hearts and flowers. But a good effort, at least the 'big boys' are paying some scant attention. Would the SMH have the cojones to tackle the unvarnished truth is a question for another day.
SMH- Norflok ditching.
Ben Sandilands (bless him) was threatened and sued by the department glove puppet for daring to be forthright and honest about the Lockhart River imbroglio at the time. Lord knows, someone had to. It's reassuring to read that he can still years later "maintain the rage", although reading through his piece, there seems to be still plenty of scope to help him.
Plane Taking - Norfolk and the ATSB.
The ATSB in the pantomime part of Cinderella have to mind their manners and not rock the boat too much, but Shame ATSB, shame on you. You have the legal horse power, skilled people and the support of Parliament, what's the hold up??.
