Will BJ's COVID increase or decrease the very slight chance, hope might be a better word, of providing an SOE directive to CASA this side of never, dare the impossible hope, even before Christmas?
I predict that Minister Joyce will not make a move at all unless confronted with a concerted attack by the media about the mess he is presiding over. There’s one issue that might possibly do the trick, the unjustified and abominable treatment of Angel Flight. If this, and the Glen Buckley debacle, were to get good coverage, especially via TV, then maybe some action. Not likely but possible.
Maybe in isolation he'll have time to reflect on the wreckage that the Parliament has inflicted on General Aviation this thirty three years of disastrous incompetence, unworkable rules and swingeing fees via it's experimental, no oversight creature the misnomered Civil Aviation Safety Authority. Misnomered because 'safety' is the least important factor in CASA's reality, in spite of it being the most repeated word.
'Safety',' a concept of many unquantifiable parts, it's continual use is to frighten Parliament into acquiescence and provide the excuse for a vast system of control backed by having the most minute transgressions inappropriately migrated into the criminal code with strict liability for ease of prosecution.
All of which gives reason for huge salaries, splendid superannuation plans and great working conditions.
CASA, a make work fee gouging salary factory par excellence.
Well done Parliament, you’ve thrown the Westminster system of Ministerial responsibility into the waste bin. The non accountable independent corporate regulator is a failed experiment that does not and cannot work in the National interest.
