7) So, how I'm feeling? I wouldn't touch CRS (or anyone who associates personally or professionally with them) with a 1000-foot pole. I just wanted to post this here on Bluesky so that it shows up when people search #paulmckessar, Campbell Smith or #brookefraser. It is not resolved.

6) So many people who have been abused by someone or some organisation will recognise this tactic. It's so cynical and dark, but they know that people can't stay outraged forever, so they just go silent until everything goes quiet. Which they did, and which it has.

5) The last word about it all - 6 months ago - was from so many of us in the industry demanding/inviting/imploring CRS to "do better" than their vague and dismissive public statement. Their response? Silence.

4) We asked them this, along with other questions, looking for satisfaction that Paul is safe to be working with young artists again.

3) CRS Management responded to scrutiny by basically saying Paul is indeed back at work because Campbell has deemed him rehabilitated enough. But how can a best friend and colleague possibly assess this without bias?

2) Paul McKessar was supposedly stood down following his predatory behaviour being made public in 2021, but this acknowledgment from Brooke revealed he was working... still? Or again?
