It would appear that the DPM is in the mood for making announcements for Boards and CEOs for other government agencies in his remit. So why the procrastination & apparent disconnect with aviation that is causing much angst to many industry stakeholders??
2 days ago...
Infrastructure Australia Board announced
Last week...
Mick Kinley appointed new CEO of AMSA
With the CEO of AMSA did we hear any protestations, cries of 'the sky will now surely fall in' by any of the marine industries stakeholders?? No?
Internally is there any rumours of sycophants, Sociopaths or zealots on crusades?? No, well none that has been publicly leaked or revealed in Senate Estimates.
Is there a constant revolving door of Senate Inquiries, AAT or Federal Court hearings?? No???
So apparently the Marine crew are happy (on the surface at least..
) with their lot...
It should be of interest that the CEO of AMSA also sits on the Board and that the Board comprises not six members but eight:
Again do we hear any bad press about, what would appear to be, an over bloated group of bureaucrats?? Do we hear about a completely dysfunctional board that simply kowtows to the whims of the AMSA CEO & Executive??
No not a peep! How can this be..
Sure there is more than likely internal rifts and disagreement that we will never know about. But for all intents and purposes the AMSA model would appear to be quietly working and getting on with regulating industry..
However most importantly it would appear that AMSA and the board have the trust of industry and that is a huge point of difference...
