Out to Lunch: Something foul in the air?…. it must be AVUSA’s dirty linen.

If you smelt something foul in the air as you were driving through Rosebank last Wednesday afternoon don’t worry. No, it wasn’t the malodourous sulphur stench we expect to be wafted onto the Highveld from Sasolburg at this time of year. It was much worse than that….it was the stench of AVUSA’s dirty linen being aired.
Now before you all get misty eyed and start thinking that AVUSA had second thoughts about denying Michelle Solomon’s request to access to the entire 88 page report compiled by the Bouffant Haired Prof Anton Harber and his three colleagues let me put you right by revealing the extraordinary facts.
Back in 2008 things were going so badly for the lads at the Sunday Times that they decided to call the bouffant haired one in to tell them what they were doing wrong. The report would then be published for all and sundry to see and, hopefully, trigger some constructive debate and corrective action. But when the report was finished the AVUSA management(sic) decided to keep it a secret and instead published a 900 word summary. This is rather like receiving the Ten Commandants from God and rejecting those that it’s inconvenient to keep.
