Hatzistergos vs Cowdery (Again and Again)

Seems like tit-for-tat is the name of the game where the NSW Attorney General locks horns with Mr Nicholas Cowdery. Mr Hatzistergos has denied approval for the DPP Mr Cowdery to attend yet another international conference. So Mr Cowdery, as usual, is paying for it out of his own pocket and taking leave-without-pay.

Funny this Department can afford to indulge in a grand scheme to create another centralised edifice: a Newcastle Justice Precinct at the drop of a hat. Funny the Attorney General's Department could afford to hire out the 200-seat Metcalf Auditorium at the State Library for one hour on 1 April 2009 and again on 5 June 2009 to speak to fewer than 30 people on both occasions. Yet the penny-pinching occurs whenever Cowdery's name passes over the desk!

Who is really wasting the public purse in the Attorney General's Department?
