The bank and the witch.


"THE Reserve Bank of Australia paid $500,000 to a self-styled ''white witch'' to oversee an ultimately disastrous workplace overhaul at its bank-note printing company.

The revelation of a highly scathing investigative report into Caroline Shahbaz's work at Note Printing Australia - fully owned by the RBA and operating under its charter - adds to concerns about the Reserve's oversight of its currency printing operations."

No, not the lady pictured above. She just looked a nice sort of "witch". I couldn't find a decent picture of the lady who advised the Reserve Bank of Australia.

How do seemingly sensible people fall for such rot? I really do not understand.

I know the purpose of economics is to make astrology look like a rational science but witchcraft?

(sits with head in hands, not knowing how to express his dismay...)
