The only question is which of the State entities and their boards will, 24 months from today, be the headline acts for all the wrong reasons. Since UDeCOTT and the Uff Commission nothing has assured the public that the familiar path of shady dealings will not be trodden.It is a waste of sensible people's time to debate the suitability of choices for boards and related State appointments. Competence, qualification, experience and ethnicity have not been decisive factors in predicting whether boards will be diligent or will land in trouble. UDeCOTT itself demonstrates that these are largely irrelevant: bad behaviour is not that selective.
