On FOI requests & word weasel confections -

In an effort to track down the documents released under the ABC's FOI request, I made a visit to the ASA FOI Disclosure Log. Unfortunately if you refer to the FOI Dislosure Log webpage - see HERE - you will discover that the last entry was on the 28 August 2015 and in fact the last update ( website administrative visit) was on 30 September 2015.

'Passing strange' that the ASA FOI requests appeared to have either dried up or ASA were disclosing less at around about the same time that Harfwit took over from Margaret Staib in the Acting CEO role...

While trolling FOI Logs, I decided to pay M&M's FDL a revisit and I was surprised to see a recent entry on the ASA subject matter...

Communications regarding changes to Airservices Australia (17-002)PDF: 261 KB PDF: 261 KB PDF: 94 KB PDF: 26 KB PDF: 99 KB

Now this is where it gets interesting because the first two PDF files are actually copies of correspondence from miniscule 4D to; 1) AOPA's President Marc De Stoop in reply to the AOPA Oz 'Project Eureka' paper; & 2) to TAAAF's Chair Greg Russell in reply to TAAAF Aviation Policy 2016.

I guess the reason why these two letters fall into the scope of the FOI request is because both the 'Project Eureka' paper and TAAAF policy suggested selling off Airservices Australia.

And to share the rejection around a copy & paste to the TAAAF letter, plus a slap down on some of the other TAAAF proposed recommendations that fall outside the scope of the Forsyth report..

4D TAAAF excerpts: 

      
After reading both letters - that have obviously been copied & pasted, carefully crafted 'word weasel confections' by some back office M&M minion - it is quite apparent that once again our miniscule for NFI is nothing more than a carefully managed Muppet to the M&M empire - FDS!

Sorry thread drift

However miniscule bollocks aside, in light of the latest revelations from the other Aunty and the ASA inability to properly utilise the full safety benefits of the ADS-B , one part of the 4D WW_Confection I think the 4D Muppetmasters should be concerned with:

Just saying - But how's that working out for you, oh carefully manicured & coiffured miniscule for NFI??
