So here comes the military, again. And here comes Heath Simpson, and here comes Sir Brian Roche.
The Prime Minister, in yet another one of her spin exercises, talked yesterday at the one o'clock lecture from the pulpit of truth of constant improvement. I think most of us know that there is no constant improvement, has been no constant improvement, and that is why we are in the mess we are.
What we have had is no improvement, and indeed no real change. What we have had is a Ministry and a government asleep at the wheel. To be fair it’s a Ministry asleep at the wheel, and a government distracted, wandering around the country banging their drum of success over the never before seen 100 plus days of elimination. That, of course, not to be elimination at all.
The military replacing private security firms is like a lot of the decisions made of late, obvious, and yet nowhere near in time.
Guards were asleep at work, we had concerns out of Australia of guards' involvement in both Melbourne and Sydney. In other words, lots of red flags that employing people with no real stake in the game is dangerous in facilities that, if you have seen the photos, are as slack as.
Sir Brian and Simpson are a direct challenge to Bloomfield and his role. Not only is it a challenge, it's a vote of no confidence. After all Sir Brian and Simpson aren't hands on help, they're not administering tests, they're not doing the genomic work, they're making sure that what Bloomfield and his Ministry says is happening, is actually happening.
Why they're needed I've got no idea, given you'd think the Prime Minister and the specific Ministers were more than capable of being on the phone and in the faces of those who they need to hold to account.
But that’s this government, isn't it? So many people, so many departments, .and so many balls up then requiring extra resource on top of the resource. It's numbers, not efficiency. Just having more people hanging out doesn’t get done what needs doing.
Clark went, Hipkins in, Woods in, Webb in, now Sir Brian and Simpson in, and Bloomfield sidelined. It's shuffling, scrambling, and patching.  
Is this as the Prime Minister spins, constant improvement, or constant panic?
