[Kharon]

Setting the tone:-

Opening remarks 

Senator GALLACHER: Mr Mrdak, have you ever thought of winding up this crew and rolling them back into the department?

Mr Mrdak: No.

Senator GALLACHER: No study has been done on bringing it back into the department?

Mr Mrdak: No.

Translation – Emphatic - Not bloody likely and no choc frog for guessing why; far too smart is the MM.


Closing remarks:-

CHAIR: I am going to go to Senator Xenophon, but before I do that, have you advertised for a new CEO yet?

Mr Mrdak: That is a matter for the board. My understanding is that the board is—

CHAIR: It is such an incestuous set-up that the board will probably say, 'Oh, we will get one of our own little pet cats in there.' Why would you not advertise publicly?

Mr Mrdak: My understanding is that the board is about to publicly advertise the position.

CHAIR: Good.

In between, Sir Gallacher took ‘em round and round the garden, see Part II  from 0530:- smacked their silly bottoms and sent them off to do their homework before dinner.  No wonder MM don’t want a bar of them, certainly not back under his wing.  No doubt the audit will uncover at very least the incompetence and lack of concern for the public purse.  Oh dear..  

You have to watch the small segment when Mrdak gives Half-Wit ‘the look’. Part II from 0640 - 0721.  Priceless - had it made into a screen saver, with a music overlay.  Going to send it to Glen Sterle, he'd hate to miss the fun bits.

Toot toot..
