Andrew Fowler and ABC Four Corners would not be known to many Australians. There are however, important observations that come to mind with regard to Mr Fowler’s Washington defence liaison officer story.

Some government officials are well rewarded through deeds performed taking down others. These officials should themselves be investigated from terrible outcomes resulting from their so called professional work.

The Australian family brought to their knees while in Washington returned to bureaucratic incestuous Canberra, a fate they did not deserve. A person’s life discounted.

The main agency responsible for this tragedy was also primarily responsible for the senseless rendition of an Australian citizen from Pakistan to Guatanomo Bay. IGIS Vivienne Thom reported that consular assistance was not satisfactorily afforded in the first instance prior to rendition – bureaucratic incestuous Canberra at play here as well with the senior executive service official eventually being awarded an OAM.

But what’s the difference? We have a good looking liar for a Prime Minister.
