Top post, nicely done P2; it is not a tale that will intrigue or delight the punter, not until they are crispy critters, strewn across the Essendon paddocks. The alarming thing is the way each agency is passing the buck. Three years of SFA done about the situation; we don’t know who to bless or who to blame and the parcel is being passed about so fast, that even when the music stops, and there is one of those long, embarrassed silences, a pregnant pause, the parcel never stops. Too hot to handle? Nah, stroll in the park for the spin doctors and word weasels.
The list of deferred, delayed and obfuscated reports is reaching critical mass. It’s all very well to say – “Not our problem” or beg off with “not enough resources”; that’s a bollocks added to a fairy story. Hiding behind ‘legally’ tight definitions of what must be and what need not be done is becoming passé. The list from the last 12 months is awaiting the Beaker editing, the list from the past 24 months is awaiting retrospective ‘in-put’ before arriving on the commissioners desk for selective editing; the list going back three years is slowly maturing, almost ready for release.
Time the great healer – or amnesia assistant. Lets face it, the 747 incident is lost in the mists of time (and the annals Beaker special edition web site), the SHEED approach is, mathematically at least, a potential killer. The real amount of ‘incidents’ and ‘unstable’ approaches is unknown; a can of worms which no one, not ASA, not CASA nor the ATSB will touch. Maybe it’s as safe as houses, but who would know.
Only one thing can be factually demonstrated, there is a perceived problem, one which has existed for many years and no one has even bothered to investigate; even if just to say – No, it’s as sound as a bell; Why? Well you silly boy, if anything goes awry and the blame game parcel is passed about nobody will stand and say ‘we declared it safe and here’s our supporting evidence.
Seems as though there’s a run on old Niccolò Machiavelli today:-
