One thing that has not been mentioned, is that the guy running METRON in Australia is one Gregory Russell. Thats right, the CEO of Airservices Australia who oversaw the awarding of a multi-million dollar contract to METRON (rumoured to now be five times the original budget - approaching $30M!), resigned, and started almost immediately with the same company he awarded the contract to! Is our government or media no longer interested in questions of corruption? Or at least the appearance of corruption?
Very good point indeed.
Dear Senators: Please place the above mentiond item onto your agenda for the new year. This needs an in-depth probing, because from this end of the blunt stick the smell of something untoward is growing very strong.
Perhaps ASA can produce
all records of meetings, trips, consultative services and costs incurred by Mr Russell specific to this company.
One can only assume that taxpayer funds have not been used in any manner whatsoever by Mr Russell to further his career aspirations external to ASA?
It would seem that the deeper one digs the more unpallatable shennanigans and actions are exposed relating to management, oversight and operation of the ASA,CASA and ATSB?
