EPA No Longer Exists - Look for DERM

[Derek Bullock]

The former Environment Protection Agency ius now known as the Department of Environment & Resource Management or DERM

Goodbye EPA.

That would be a bloody huge department, and god forbids if you are caught within the red tape of this....

One word... Dermatitis.

The very very bad part about all of this is one word "resourse" ie maybe now they are actually mandated to screw us over fish as it is a resourse! These wankers make me angrier every day.

P.S. Where's that belltower?

One word... Dermatitis.


Thats exactly what I was thinking:D

I'm not sure that they will be happy with their new nickname:P ;D ;D ;D

[Callop]

One word... Dermatitis.

Good one Daryl. The nickname fits pretty well considering that 'itis' basically means inflamation eg tonsilitis - inflamation of the tonsils.
So we get inflamation of the DERM. Sounds like any good government department.

Its actually a conclomeration of NR&W and EPA.
They've gone from 26 depts to 13.

and the new name just about sums up the answers you get out of them......its always either Derrrr, or mmmmmmm.

[oldboot]

This constant rearranging of departments at the whim of parliment realy annoys me.

Think of the cost and environmental impact of reprinting all the stationary.

cheers

the EPA got some pretty bad publicity over the zoning, now with DERM it'll be 'we didn't do it, that was the EPA's project, but now we have to enforce it, we aren't the bad guys"

So what do you reckon it will cost the taxpayer for the rebranding..???

With a government change like this the re braning of all the documents, letterhead, websites, new logos, new signage ????? and the list goes on..

facilty renaming, internal restructures, job - re applications etc.. and the list goes on..

Desktop SOE rebranding, service consolidation, marketing, publicity, etc, and the list goes on...

Aren't we in a recession?????????? how bad does the budget look, employment up the creek..

Must be a stimulus package I reckon..

yes what about those conversion costs? But remember this is supposed to SAVE us money in the long run (though text doesn't really show it, there is supposed to be a note of sarcasm detected with this last comment)
