Frau Staib,
Not in the way that this particular incident was handled. What it has brought out in my mind—appearing here before you—is that there is room for improvement in managing the cross-boundary areas of the different jurisdictions, because inevitably it is very difficult to see the line drawn on a map in the air.
Perhaps she was drawing lines in the air whilst off flying with the fairies in cloud cuckoo land?
'The' CHAIR,
Like Senator Fawcett said: 'Don't look over the boundary. You mightn't like what you see.' For God's sake, why wouldn't you have been up CASA and up ATSB and up everyone else, like I intend to be, over this? It is obviously a flaw and obviously bureaucracies tend to protect themselves and put up a shell—'Don't ask, don't tell. That wasn't our responsibility' and 'Don't look over the fence.' For God's sake, what is going on?
Very good work sir. It is always refreshing to see a bureaucrat, in this case Staib, shot down as the spin deflecting waffle was about to be unleashed towards the Senators! Aagh yes, these Senators aint nobody's fool by the sounds of things so far. It is obvious that these pony pooh sprouting bureaucrats appearing before the senate have underestimated the Senators intellect by a thousand nautical miles.
As has been mentioned repetitively, or tautologically as Chief Angry Man Skull would say, the ASA, ATSB and CASA have all failed dismally, woefully and internationally under the direction of executives, boards, Ministers and the like who have next to zero experience in real life matters and instead have made careers talking ****e and spinning and evading fact and truth. They are all dross and just as with a good bowel movement they need to be expunged immediately.
