Police's ability to effectively tackle mining disasters raised after NZ incident

摘要

A recent ABC current affairs television program featured a proposal by the beleaguered New South Wales Government to take the control of mine rescues out of the hands of the companies and their miners and place them under the auspices of a new authority. Promoting this concept was an academic who appeared unable to differentiate between a lump of coal and a piece of licorice. It was a new order bureaucratic move that would create new departmental heads and all the added extras and which could be likened to any given scenario out of the popular BBC comedy series Yes, Prime Minister.
