Yeah but, our 'Cardinals' are still puzzling out who will be the next ring master. There will be a faction which desperately wants an administrative type, a Beaker look a like competition winner, which is a proven abject failure – from an operational and now budgetary perspective; saved what $100,000 ? on the retrieval of wet aircraft and blundered into a Senate Inquiry, which cost just a little more.
Now CASA are presenting an "administrative" type as ring master which can only end in tears; one of the star candidates hardly knows which end of an aircraft the smoke come out of and has no aviation qualifications worth mentioning without embarrassing us all.
It's a shame when blokes who have serious qualifications and qualities are laying about idle or underemployed that the department would even consider an "admin" reptile type. Hood gone, Cook gone, Quinn a distant memory. Aye well, the Campbell's are coming Hurrah; or gods help us (tick one box).
