So Mr McCormick wants to leave, but the Minister 'has the goods' on Mr McCormick and is using them to 'force' Mr McCormick to continue to endure the living hell of a circa $500k no-risk salary, Business Class travel and Five Star accommodation at the top of a high profile government agency, rather than take the opportunity to replace him?
Wow. Clearly my knowledge of the machinations of government is sadly lacking.
My guess had been that the Minister is very happy with Mr McCormick's performance and wants him to stay.
