well, that would be quite glorious, wouldn't it? Consequences for being arseholes.
I asked ASIO about the intentionally divisive stunt pulled by the Daily Telegraph at Cairo Takeaway and other locations. The Director General and I agree that this stunt was worse than stupid and there should be consequences.

Exclusive: The failed plot to take over Meals on Wheels
A consultancy is in receivership and a senior public servant has described himself as ‘not fit-for-duty’ after a series of troubled contracts was awarded to reform Meals on Wheels.

Dutton is a laughable throwback. Bashing unions, demonising public servants, lionising Howard. Yawn. He knows full well that apart from repairing debased frontline services, many of the new public servants replaced expensive conflicted consultants getting rich on the public purse. #insiders
