Sorry Watchdog  I must still be in shock after watching democracy fail yesterday.

For months, no in fact for years, we have been writing about the things the Board has been doing wrong and that they are a total waste of good oxygen.  As the Minister, his Government and their department (MOBIE) don’t seem to want to either listen or hold them accountable, then it’s time to take more direct action.

Action is here and now.

If I was a member of the PGDB yesterday, watching Parliamentary television, I would hang my head in shame.  Several notable MP's catalogued the litany of failures of this board, and the board's before it.  They did not have a good thing to say about the board as a collective.  There were several points made about the need to gain the trust of industry, but we know from previous experience this Board is incapable to listening and moving on these suggestions.  What does the future hold - well I believe in both the short and long term it holds protest action as industry finally rises us and says "we've had enough" "we tried - but we aren't going to work with you any more."

Flip flop was notable for his absence.

Thing is to hang their head in shame would require them to have a conscience....they don't and they won't.

I am aghast at the failure of democracy....and if they will do this over a relatively minor issue as plumbing....what do they do over the big issues?

Looks like the rot goes further than I thought....so very sad.
