GaGa or Gag?
The old guard drag out this thin old saw every time there’s ‘trouble at mill’, and industry ‘voices’ keep falling for it. How many of these bloody things must we labour through, perhaps some of the older heads can count ‘em up. A gab-fest’ is announced; off go the ‘new’ voices, hundreds of well written pages are produced (again) the powers that be look solemn and swear to ‘get ‘er fixed up’ – ‘onest like.
Ye gods; if ever the ‘Greens’ catch onto how much paper and energy is wasted, playing this old game, there’d be hell to pay. It has been going on, in a repetitive cycle of hope raised, expectations dashed for decades now. We have had Royal commissions (how many for a CF?), multiple inquiry, lots of report and who knows what else; acres of paperwork, decades of hope and countless man-hours invested in these ridiculous charades. DDDD has just been given another 140 pages to add to the mountain and is expecting more shortly. By the time this round has been ‘considered’ and deemed just another ‘opinion’ there will be a budget, an election and a new DAS (silly bloody title) the duck shoving will continue unabated, impetus lost, yet again, in the white noise.
The ‘new’ boys run about; claiming to have ‘penetrated’, getting the troops all fired up and ‘match-fit’. Total result from a three decade shooting match? SFA is what and now it all starts, all over again.
History children, history: oft repeated. Even Einstein worked it out – in the end.
“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”.
No steam, can't be bothered.
