Estelles. You suggest that "Maybe Brendan doesn't want the doors thrown open on the disability department he used to preside over".

Wrong Brendan. You are mixing me up with the respected former head of the NSW Department of Ageing, Disabilities and Home Care.

I'm not saying we should lease SA out to the Chinese like NT did with the Port of Darwin, so what does a 'clever country' do in times like these?
Why we're so clever that we just throw money away and claim it's for the social good and then borrow some more
Everyone has an opinion but no one wants to put the money up to back it.
Lottsa talkin' but no walkin'

They make sure royal commisisons cost a lot so they can then use the cost as a reason for not having any more.

Royal commissions are bonza's for lawyers.
