    Is there even accountability for the so called "little people". How many individuals are involved in this issue, how many of them were or weren't doing their job?

    Where did the chain fall apart and who in the same chain didn't raise a flag!

    Put the "C" word aside, and let's have answers to these questions! Harney fly's back from New Zealand and personally takes a letter opener to the unopened post - and that fixes what. If this is pour encourager les autres fine, but would it really help to fix the problem?

    I don't think so.


    But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: "I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!"

    Ultimately, right or wrong, she IS the minister for health. This department has the ultimate responsibility for health care in this state. This debacle has seriously undermined the public's confidence in our health system. The buck stops with her.

    Will he be working for a reduced salary - or will he justify the full rate by touring the country counting bedpans?
