Chester pledges More Consultation with GA

Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Darren Chester has said he will keep listening to general aviation in order to address threats to the industry.

In a statement released after being returned to his portfolio following the Federal Election, the minister singled-out general aviation as one of his areas of concern.

"In addition to building infrastructure that our kids and grandkids will thank us for, the government will work to deliver reforms that improve productivity and efficiency in coastal shipping, aviation, road and rail transportation," the statement reads.

"Reducing red tape to boost economic production, without compromising safety, will improve transport efficiency across all modes of transportation.

"In particular, I will continue to consult with the General Aviation sector to address issues of concern which threaten the viability of this important industry."

In the lead-up to the Federal Election, Minister Chester along with Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce attended a GA industry rally at Tamworth, and Department Secretary Shane Carmody also chaired meetings in Canberra with the AOPA Project Eureka team and The Australian Aviation Associations Forum (TAAAF).

The government's response to the rally and meetings has yet to be released

Oh FFS Malcolm & Barnaby please give the industry someone (like a David Fawcett) who has half an idea where the pointy end of an aircraft is..  

This numbnut is way too busy self-flagellating, self-promoting himself around the countryside to truly give a rat's arse about aviation & aviation safety in this country - besides Nick Xenophon will eat him for breakfast...
