Was that second bang the door closing?
The first was Carmody being either shot in the arse from behind; or, in the foot while drawing the weapon. Not that it matters, either way; there is blood on the floor now – metaphorically speaking of course.
BRB indaba last evening – full house; and, one of the quietest I’ve ever attended. The whole video Hansard was watched, almost without pause, little ribald comment; and, importantly, no break to recharge glasses. When the show was over, (and glasses refilled) there was a general consensus that three parts needed to be seen again. Standing alone, they are significant; but viewed altogether, the only reasonable conclusion which could be reached is that Carmody has to go; and, there is need for a serious inquiry into the manner in which CASA operate.
The three ‘big’ ticket items of interest were (i) the ‘approval’ survey: (ii) Part 149 consensus and (iii) the O’Sofullofit invitation.
Items (i) and (ii) have the potential to at least demand further investigation by the Committee and possibly the minister; even if it is to simply exonerate the regulator from the suspicions raised. There has (IMO) been enough reasonable doubt raised to justify the time and expense of a further committee session to examine, in full both areas. It may well be that CASA is as pure as the driven snow and have operated with integrity and probity – however; the ugly questions have been raised; and, for the amount of public money CASA plough through, it seems fair and reasonable that the doubts raised be examined, in detail, under oath.
Item (iii) is truly interesting. Whether it was, as the BRB decided, a smart assed throw away line from O’Sofullofit; or, part of a bigger game is now academic. The invitation was issued. It is only a small section; it begins at the 10:30 time mark on the video record below.
An open invitation to the Embuggered fraternity to state their case, under parliamentary protection. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to have the draconian Enforcement Manual scrutinised, a chance to walk a committee through the machinations of the CASA version of ‘safety enforcement’ and a golden moment to put a stake in the heart of an out of control operation which can and does destroy careers, reputation and life. That they do this with some glee is academic.
PAIN will be discussing ways and means of exploiting the invitation with various groups; perhaps we can, together, garner enough general supporting evidence to provide a brief to the committee and get them to put their money where O’Sofullofit’s mouth is. We shall see. There is of course a record of some of the more spectacular acts of embuggerance; in short form, which will be the keystone. This information has been pilling up for almost a decade now. Perhaps it is high time that CASA was made to sit up straight and fly right. Handing over, but you need to be in it to win it. ‘Nuff said.
Master Morgan earned a hearty ‘well done’. It is refreshing to listen to someone who will speak up, tell it as it is, plainly, openly, honestly without fear. Yes, he does rock some boats, but can you honestly say those boats don’t need a good rocking.
Rock On Ben, have at ‘em. BRB awarded the best guitar riff ever.
Toot – toot.
