Maybe he could be good. I had most of my luck with reforms with Alan Heggen and Ron Cooper.
Both I understand were ex RAAF .
Just needs to have the commonsense to understand that $1.4 billion written off by Defence ( on Super Seasprites ) doesn't seem to matter but $100 k mis-allocated re GA can be the death of an operator.
The Government policy is to remove all unnecessary costs - surely he has accepted the job on this understanding.
Hopefully he wants to do something worthwhile for Australia - why else would a person with his career and good name want the job?
Here's hoping!
