[T]hey have no intention, whatsoever, of changing anything.
Why would they?
Governments wrap themselves in a lovely warm coat of people who never bring problems or bad news: only options and solutions. When has CASA or ATSB troubled government with anything?
Governments must respond to the important issues: opinion polls and focus groups. When has CASA or ATSB done anything to affect opinion polls or draw the attention of focus groups?
CASA and ATSB are operating
perfectly. Almost nothing they do makes any difference to the political fortunes of the Laborials.
