AP Forum Weekly Wrap: 20/04/24

Sarcs — Sat, 20 Apr 2024 10:04:26 +0000

First this week’s #SBG: Of responsibility and a duty of care. “The ATSB also found that CASA did not have an effective process for assuring an authorisation would be unlikely to adversely affect safety. As a result, CASA delegates did not use the available structured risk management process to: identify and assess risks ensure suitable […]

TGIF on the AP Forum: 5/04/24

Sarcs — Fri, 05 Apr 2024 09:35:00 +0000

First this week’s SBG: Mushrooms v Bubble Heads (Round 27). With a vengeance; but, before the chickens came the eggs and them as laid them. The notion of an essential ‘public service’ becoming a profit centre, detached from government (ministerial) responsibility and control is a great idea; for the government. But to the public and business, […]

TGIF on the AP Forum: 15/03/24

Sarcs — Sat, 16 Mar 2024 10:32:00 +0000

First this week’s #SBG: Say what? –“(mandatory non-acceptance contrasted with avoidance)”. Recommendation 1. “Given the contradiction this presents (mandatory non-acceptance contrasted with avoidance), it is recommended CASA’s Hospitality and Gifts Policy be amended to remove reference to avoiding lobbyist gifts to ensure the intent of never accepting gifts from lobbyists is captured.” ICC. Should you have the […]

TGIF on the AP Forum: 16/02/24

Sarcs — Fri, 16 Feb 2024 11:22:59 +0000

First this week’s #SBG: 11/02/24 Catch 22..sub para A-through -Z. “You mean there’s a catch?” – “Sure there’s a catch,” Doc Daneeka replied. “Catch-22. Anyone who wants to get out of combat duty isn’t really crazy.” Estimates; another round next week. P2 – “Airservices up early (1245)? Don’t believe that’s a good sign for Harfwit and his […]

AuntyPru 10 days to XMAS Wrap

Sarcs — Sat, 23 Dec 2023 01:05:32 +0000

First last week’s #SBG: 17/12/23 Hush-a-bye-baby.. The original verse appeared in ‘Mother Goose’s melody’ circa 1769; or, so the story goes. But, I’ve always liked the reality fix embedded; because, no matter how dreamy, or soothing the notion of being gently swayed into a sweet, dreamless sleep, when the ‘bough breaks’ – the shit hits […]

AP Forum Weekly Wrap: 26/11/23

Sarcs — Sun, 26 Nov 2023 08:05:30 +0000

First last week’s #SBG: Ineptitude, Insouciance and perhaps… I would live all my life in nonchalance and insouciance, were it not for making living, which is rather a nouciance. “Begin at the beginning”, the King said (very gravely). All well and good for the King; he did not have to ‘begin’ at the beginning’ did […]

TGIF on the AP Forum: 27/10/23

Sarcs — Fri, 27 Oct 2023 10:50:49 +0000

First this week’s SBG: Of Window dressing and artifice. “It is not that we have so little time but that we lose so much. … The life we receive is not short but we make it so; we are not ill provided but use what we have wastefully.” For many, watching Senate Estimates ranks alongside […]

AP Forum Weekly Wrap: 7/10/23

Sarcs — Sat, 07 Oct 2023 10:08:31 +0000

First the #SBG: 01/10/23 October; long weekend to celebrate Labour day in NSW; a time to remember what a great country we live in, or, it used to be. Not so much these days though, seems both a fair and a reasonable comment. I find it quite problematic to balance the ‘state’ (mess) this nation […]

#TGIF on the AP Forum: 29/09/23

Sarcs — Fri, 29 Sep 2023 12:28:51 +0000

First this week’s #SBG: And, at the very bottom of the barrel :- “They were changeful in speech, for they had great love of words, and sought ever to find names more fit for all things that they knew or imagined.” For a classic example listen – HERE -. The select Committee is looking into the […]

#TGIF on the AP Forum: 22/09/23

Sarcs — Fri, 22 Sep 2023 09:57:39 +0000

First this week’s #SBG: But: where to begin? Ever get a jigsaw puzzle for Christmas? Always the last thing explored, often kept back for a cold, rainy day. Take the cellophane wrapper off, tip it all out and start the hunt for the corners – then ‘where’ to begin? Your clues (of course) come from […]
