JessamyGovernment staff must reveal sexual history (LINK)
March 16th 2008 02:39
After reading this article online just before, it occurred to me that it's actually a pretty interesting idea. Perhaps not the most ethical, but interesting, yes.
"More than 300 ministerial and electorate staffers have been ordered to fill in a 25-page form and attend an in-depth interview into their personal finances, drug habits and sexual history before gaining high-level security clearance."
Good god. Now, any normal human being would shy away any questions leading in that direction, never mind a mini-novel in your own handwriting documenting every naughty thing you've ever done in your life.
Now, fair enough, apparentely this protects the ministers from blackmail, slander, and all those other things the media can get up to. But the quote that caught my eye was this:
"Some staff find it intrusive, and it does take quite a long time."
Firstly, only some find it intrusive? Meaning that the rest of them are more than happy divulge their life stories, right down to that night in '89 down at Bells Beach with that girl, whatshername, Caitlin? Candy? What's is wrong with these people? Are they too cheap to pay someone to write their autobiography, and have decided a 25 page report will do just fine?
Secondly, 'it does take quite a long time'. Of course does. With lookers like these, you know they're bound to have been round the block and know how to use their....uh. Well. They've been round the block a few times.
However, the Liberals don't have much going for them either:
Good God, I bet Ruddock''s got a ten book soon-to-be-movie just hidden in there, waiting to burst free and waltz onto our screen in all its technicolour glory. Whoever's idea this was, I congratulate them. It's a big waste of time, but I cannot wait for the reports to leak.....sweet mercy to whoever has to read Garrett's, however. No one wants to know where he has and hasn't been. I repeat, no one.
