What I had in mind was that the unfortunate (being mild here) statement only seems to have been published after Leo blew the whistle on the internal announcement the day before. SSO management should have waited before (to use a current vogue phrase) doubling down. Hindsight shows and I think more careful reflection would have shown that taking it on the chin in silence would have been better.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1672155175393980448.post-64128231965460155252017-09-29T09:45:39.425+10:002017-09-29T09:45:39.425+10:00Well, Leo's dudgeon is what brought it to my a...Well, Leo's dudgeon is what brought it to my attention, so that's one thing, and the story isn't about Leo, it's about why they said anything, and then what and how they said it.<br /><br />As far as I'm concerned, they need some blow back. wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08196036534397389760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1672155175393980448.post-83623450506042061562017-09-29T09:24:40.268+10:002017-09-29T09:24:40.268+10:00Disappointing but what good will come of Leo's...Disappointing but what good will come of Leo's dudgeon? Last round I recall was when he pulled up stumps in Hobart - not a story that ended well for the creditors of the Brisbane outfit.<br /><br />As to the SSO board and whoever is responsible for the statement released in its name, tin ear and bum note are the phrases that come to mind. By the last paragraph it still goes off the rails as it manages to endorse the "democratic" process of the plebiscite.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
