So much for the “national” broadcaster.
Anyone who has had the misfortune of dealing with the replete, complacent Program Prevention Officers in Sydney HQ will not be in the least surprised.

Good question about the “widdling away”, Kevin. I heard Christine on the phone as saying “widdling away”, but I’m going to email her and check that’s what she said.

It’s worth remembering that Sydney HQ of Penfolds told Max Schubert to stop making Grange, now world famous. I and my local projects have suffered from Sydney and Melbourne based lack of knowledge and drawing on too stretched a pool of talent, and thus clients have suffered. More power to the regions please!

I am surprised they found something to cut after the shier/alston emasculation. This is really putting the boot in.

Should “widdling away” be “whittling away”? Or did she mean they are p-ssing their Tasmanian resources up the wall?
