[Merv and Sharon]

Baz I wasn't suggesting that what they did was not legal but that the required processes were a duplication.

That is, the engineer was 'appointed' by the RTA and the NSW Govt to oversee the ADR applications of the build and was registered to be able to charge a fee for that service. Then again, another set of agents employed by the government (the 'Inspectors") were required to check his checking. That would seem to be duplication of procedure and a disadvantage to the public - an issue I think the Omsbudsman could be interested in.
