Is it aware there's significant human tragedy behind the Rose/Beattie relationship? Whatever this pair is alleged to have done on the public purse isn't sufficiently urgent to waft under the noses of the many traumatised staff and families they're alleged to have affected. If there's no evidence to establish an Inquiry into what appears an inordinate amount of time the former Premier and his Minister spent together in their workplace involving staff support - then the ABC should dump it.
