W8 - I agree. quite a few people in CAsA deserve prison sentences for their particular brand of self serving corruption.
There are several Gordian knots for the minuscule to unpick, before he can release the hounds and clean out Sleepy Hollow. This is one of the major ones. Truss must be at least vaguely aware of some of the more blatant, border line criminal actions committed in the name of "Safety", McComic style. The list is long, the victims many but strangely enough the list of suspects is fairly short. But to address the issues, even in camera at the Senate will be a major embarrassment to the Government. Any real inquiry must start and will probably end in the LSD and Nuremburg never provided a sustainable defence. Many of the atrocities committed by the very few who willingly worked the system for a predetermined outcome were known to and supported by the LSD. It would take a better man than Truss to 'fess up and publicly take the LSD to task.
The more subtle approach would be to identify the 'bad boys and girls' and backtrack. There has been some extensive research done and evidence collated – but there is no venue to impartially examine these cases. At the moment whispered 'deals' and non disclosure seem to be the only avenue for negotiation and even those are few and far between.
The Senate Committee know this; Rev. Forsyth and his team mates know this; industry knows this and more to be true. One of the Gordian knots tying the cord strangling industry is the blatant, fully supported, deliberate misuse of the regulations. Administrative embuggerance and total immunity providing a well defended base from which the rogue elements may freely operate; with impunity; without let or hindrance.
Truss may well want to open Pandora's box; but look at what happened last time. Truss may well know he has to deal with these issues; perhaps the Board and a truly independent ICC can provide a soft landing, before time and patience run out.
Heh heh; wonder how many knifes were stuck in McComic's back as he left the building; probably by his most trusted catamites while patting him there (to find a nice soft spot); those who will squeal longest and loudest when prodded.
Aye well – it was never going to be quick, clean and easy. No guarantees in a game of Russian roulette.
