Heff's Choc frog award.

 For those not familiar, a while back now Heff (legend) read out to the committee a spiteful, conceited, unsigned little note whining about being kept waiting for a turn to speak.  It clearly offended Heff, for many old school reasons and the writer of that missive was put on notice.

This time around, a long ATSB wait outside preceded a very short short time inside. On entry the majority of the committee barely acknowledged the existence of team ATSB, a couple of soft questions were lobbed in for forms sake, and ATSB was dismissed, four short minutes later.

Four minutes, 30 seconds was all the time pay-back took; if you don’t count the preceding hours, hanging about outside.  NX had a couple of soft questions, the rest of the committee pretty well ignored Beaker and Co.  Why?  You may well ask, everyone watching found out, right at the end.  As Dolan beat a very hasty retreat, heading for the exit at warp speed, Heff pipes up, with impeccable timing,  “Sorry for the delay Mr Dolan; please don’t send me a nasty note”.   (Paraphrased e&oe)

It was elegant in it’s simplicity, artful in execution and was the last thing Beaker heard as he left the building; hopefully, for the last time.  

Classic Bill.  Bravo and thank you for a big smile.... ...

Here is the comment, also note (turn up the volume) the exchange between Sterle & Xenophon on MH370 search tender cock-up; & I believe a mention of a future Inquiry...
