If it quacks like a Duck.
P2 – “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 Disclosure 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.”
That Sir, is an interesting little sidebar. I would like to know a little more, the ‘timing’ could be coincidental; but then again – given the ructions about then – you have to wonder.
So what’s happened to the FOI requests? Perhaps there simply have not been any FOI requests made during the period; unlikely, but possible. Perhaps due to a staff shortage there is no one to update the records – nah; Halfwit reckons he had 900 too many on the books; so that’s a non sequitur. Which leaves us with the notion that the FOI requests are being knocked back, therefore no update required.
The intensive, probing Estimates questioning before the Staib departure and the hiatus which followed, should, IMO have prompted a barrage of questions. There was a CEO up to her arse in alligators, some very awkward questions to which answers were being demanded; and, the Halfwit white ants as busy as hell. Shirley, some bright media spark, at very least, would be curious enough to go the FOI route. Maybe someone did and the requests were all knocked back – hence a clean disclosure log for what – 18 months. Well, you do have the right to remain silent rather than incriminate yourself. I wonder if it has come to the stage where a 'full dress' criminal investigation is the only answer to the ever deepening pit the ASA is digging; it would clear the air (so to speak).
