Oh, Wouldn't it be loverly!
You know that thing - the one where you get a 'song' or a 'jingle' stuck on replay in your head - you end up whistling snatches of it all bloody morning. There I was, lighting the stove and setting up the work bench - mind in neutral, idling away chewing over Buckley's Chances. "O wouldn't that be lovely' I thought; if, as a positive demonstration of CASA's new found 'good will' toward human kind there was a serious sit down and an equitable solution found to a way forward. Wretched song stuck - but it is a good notion.
How hard could it be? Angel Flight send in a non combatant negotiator - CASA field a decision maker. Quiet sit down - pro's and cons discussed - and a settlement, binding on both achieved, quietly, with dignity and no red faces.
Say that worked; that would take care of the morning. Lunch break, then the Buckley representative is wheeled in to meet the CASA decision maker. It might be quite a wrangle - but - if Buckley had the right 'peace maker' and CASA sent in a 'specialist'. Shirley, some form of a way forward could be found. There is legal obligations on both sides - these may not be gainsaid - however with the right attitude and a little give or take - from both parties........... Both Buckley and CASA would have to make do with a compromise; but that has to be better than the endless, pointless brangle which takes up time and resources.
How good would it make the minister look if he made this happen? What credit and Kudos for Spence and her outfit. The current impasse is embarrassing, costly and brings no credit to all concerned.
Wouldn't it be loverly? - Oh, you bet it would be.
Toot - toot....
