Smoke, mirrors and statistics.
Smoke is widely used by Voodoo witch doctors to baffle the tribe.
Mirrors are mostly used by narcissists to keep things in perspective.
Statistics are used instead of pony pooh, to confound lower forms of intelligence.
Follow the money; the real numbers shine brightly from under the dross. If a corporation or bank blatantly, cynically and corruptly ripped off the public there would be an international scandal, headlines and fairy stories to terrify (or educate) future generations.
The public should ask for a true accounting; exactly how much hard cash has been tipped down the Swanee; how much has been sprayed up the wall on many failed projects, how much has been payed out in bonuses and packages to the numerous departed directors, managers etc., how much has been eaten, travelled on and used for purposes other than the safety of the Australian travelling public and the integrity of air traffic management.
Then ask how is it that having wasted this amount of money, was a 100 million dollar profit made from a clearly deficient service which relies on so very few to make it's indecent profits.
No Minister, it's not a good look. Taxi for the Minister please, oh! and a box trailer for his watchdogs.
