for all the legitimate criticism of the DOD and the government in general over defence, there seems to be an awful lot of 'nah, i'm not doing that' in the DF, and one might ask if at least one contributary element to the general indifference to defence issues within government and the wider body politic is a veiw that there's no point doing anything with defence because the DF 'won't wear it'.
all it needs, on any of these issues, is a handwritten 'thou shalt...' from the Minister of Defence. anyone who doesn't like having the heavy maint on the MOWAG's being done by a contractor, or AW139 being flown on deployment, can always look for a second career on the fried chicken retail sector... and given the savings/efficiencies available to the DOD, the minister is unlikely to not accept their resignation.
