No! That is not even remotely what I'm saying!

This is wrong as well, though I agree partly with it.

Here is my point boiled down: The system is FINE. You can't blame idiots like this guy for cheating the system. The appointees MUST be vetted properly in order to establish that they WILL NOT cheat the system. These ("good") people exist - many of them are in the senate right now. We just need more of them. In other words, I'm placing the blame for this clown DIRECTLY at the feet of the Prime Minister who appointed him.
