Yes you're spot on Merv, but this is unfortunately what we've come to expect from our elected officials, at all levels of Government. Nevertheless, it's engaging a civil servant, getting them to produce something tangible. Even if it leaves a bad taste 'so to speak'! Shame you compared this farsical situation to a ballet though...some will think we're uncultured swill. Hahaha
Definitely more like an episode of yes Minister, don't you think?
What's frightening to me is the lowering of sale prices of Jabs currently for sale on the Interweb. I fly someone else's Jabiru and I really hope for them that this mess gets sorted soon.
