Last week Treasurer Lucas was gloating that his Government had succeeded in getting orders against the Ambulance Employees’ Association (AEA) about the issue of ambos putting their name on a list of those possibly willing to work on some days-off.
This week the AEA successfully appealed against the original orders and had them amended, but Mr Lucas is nowhere to be seen.
The original orders were based almost entirely on a “draft” tendered by the Dept of Treasury and Finance (DTF) lawyers to “assist” SAET.
