What the hell is going on at Public Trustee...again!


Despite many assurances given by Mark Bodycoat to the 2009 Parliamentary Inquiry, ‘Something is rotten in the state of Denmark’. Hamlet 1:4.

What has the I.T. Manager been doing? He replaced the previous person, THEN PT EXECUTIVE RECLASSIFIED THE POSITION UPAWAYS WITH A VERY HANDSOME PAY RISE TO BOOT! Yet, still the same number of Network Users, same duties, same work. With around 160 staff members, the PT position  pays handsomely compared to say the Office of Consumer Affairs where at least a hundred more Users lurk, as well as remote offices. Empires all unto themselves!!! The difference in salary is at least equivalent to a couple of people on the dole.

3 SEPT 2010: MARK BODYCOAT DOES AN UNEXPECTED CATH O’LOUGHLIN. TEARS FLOW AT FAREWELL DRINKS.

TEMPORARY PUBLIC TRUSTEE ANNOUNCED WHILST THEY LOOK FOR ANOTHER.

And speaking of illustrious leaders, albeit the blow-in type. Is it true that recently a senior female Jerome Maguire favourite was shipped across from 45 Pirie Street to stand-in for Mark Bodycoat for 4 weeks, but decided to bugger off on 2 weeks leave and left that rickety old rebirthed Mary Celeste rudderless? Did she still pocket the additional salary when Acting in the Bodycoat shoes?

Well, that is the good old Attorney-General’s Department for ya!

At Public Trustee, history seems to have its umbrella caught in the revolving door.

How many Inquiries now?

GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATION UNIT, COMMENCED DECEMBER 2005

SAPOL ANTI-CORRUPTION INVESTIGATION 2006

MOSS INQUIRY. 12 MONTHS. A DISCIPLINARY INQUIRY INTO ALLEGATION AGAINST A SENIOR, NOW-EX PUBLIC TRUSTEE OFFICER.

THE PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY OF 2009.

We can but wonder what other story will be next to pop up in the media.

She is a sick little puppy that now-relocated Government Agency. Rann sold off the Franklin Street building to his mate in Spain not long ago.

We can but wonder what could be next.

Just a quick one though. Being from Belfast and having worked there during The Troubles, I know what to do when a bomb threat rips though the switchboard.

I remember we all gathered in Victoria Square, by the book, and the then Public Trustee Cath O'Loughlin strolled up. She asked; 'Anyone want to go back in, go throught the floors, and see if anything looks out of place?'

As I stood there staring at the big red trucks surrounding 25 Franklin Street, I thought about.....which planet!

You been quiet for a while. Nice comments on Today Tonight the other week. Spot on as usual. Drama after drama in here. I can only say that nothing has changed since you were here. Nothing has changed since the inquiry. PT Mark Bodycoat fell on a sword not of his doing. You can point many fingers at the bureaucracy within 45 Pirie Street. Keep up the good work. THO.

Hey Rob. Didnt see you at the farewell drinks on Friday night. Didnt get an invite, eh? I couldnt believe the major sucking up by some, particularly from those recently exposed on the Today Tonight story. The residual rot from the Moss Inquiry days has yet to be addressed. I hope you know who I mean. Check your email.

Im still stuck here said...

Hiya Rob. Internet use here is a joke. I was over at 45 Pirie last week and wandering through it I noticed they are just as bad. Lots of people with obviously not much to do. Please keep up the good work because many of us need this place to change for the better.
