I was assuming Kochie was down there because of this: ------------ Australia's new Antarctic boss sacked suddenly for no reason THE Australian Antarctic Division has sacked a distinguished former special forces soldier it handpicked to be its Mawson Station chief just days before he was to sail south. Former counter terrorism officer Ian Young was due to sail from Fremantle today to take up the 12-month appointment heading Australia's oldest Antarctic station. Instead 51-year-old the ex-SAS troop commander turned award-winning sculptor is consulting lawyers over what he described as baseless allegations which led to his removal. Antarctic Division spokeswoman Patti Lucas refused to discuss the case yesterday saying: "We don't comment on staff matters". <snip> Mr Young spent 15 years in the Australian Army, rising to the rank of major and spending time on active duty Somalia and Kuwait. He also helped plan the successful evacuation of UN Mission in East Timor in September 1999 and has spent the past 10 years as a crisis and emergency management consultant for organisations including the United Nations, IBM and BHP Billiton. The Australian Antarctic Division, which employs 300 permanent staff, is based in the Hobart suburb of Kingston. It runs Australia's Antarctic program from three bases on the Antarctic continent and one on Macquarie Island and the ship Aurora Australis. [link to www.themercury.com.au] |

Maybe something big is going on, and not just at Vostok. Make that two friggin frozen flies on the frigid wall ... |

Crankgorilla User ID: 11064662 Australia 02/19/2012 05:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You expect anything of quality from morning shows? They're forbidden from anything too stimulating. I learn't not to read anything too stimulating while doing ordinary jobs because it can get quite depressing. You learn that most workers are ordinary boring people that think no further than raising family, putting food on the table and maybe a few beers at the pub and a barbeque on the weekend. And that's life. These Morning Shows cater to that demographic nicely. Kochie used to have balls. But Natalie Barr cut then off. I watch the Today show with Karl Stephanovic if I'm up at that time of day. Sunrise is for pregnant women. |
nexuseditor User ID: 4399309 Australia 02/19/2012 05:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I served in the Army with Youngie. Quoting: Kordie 11078904 The finest guy I knew. If I got sacked then it would make sense - but this fellow is the epitome of a leader. Makes no sense. From experience and observation, when something like this happens for no discernible reason, it is because they want someone in charge who is 'higher up the food chain', or has a higher clearance or approval from some foreign govt. Reading between the lines I'd thus say that something new is brewing in the Antarctic - something that wasn't an 'issue' when Young was first selected and approved - but something that Young is not cleared to know about or handle. |

Those Chinese really report heaps more stuff going on than does the ABC, SBS, or any other news. |
