Thank you to Clinton McKenzie for making your case, and the wider implications ably and comprehensively put, available publicly. A logical and thoroughly well informed argument for a rational approach to the many ills of Australian aviation. I think quite correctly Clinton McKenzie has made the crucial point that in reality the degree of regulation for safety is a matter of politics, therefore this is the responsibility of our elected representatives. Unfortunately we continue to labour under a failed model of governance, the independent regulator. Until Parliament can be persuaded to exert control over it’s runaway bureaucracy then expect worse to come.
