Sandy, GA is dead, deliberately strangled in red tape. Don't let the death rattles fool you. . RAA and the rest of the Alphabets will be strangled next. How many times must you idiots keep banging your heads against a brick wall???? I say "idiots" in a caring and sharing way because I fail to find a more appropriate name for people who expect the Government and public service to stop shitting in their mouths at every opportunity despite Thirty plus years of exactly that behaviour. I'm sorry but there is no other words for what the Government of the day, Department of Transport and their dark creatures CASA, ATSB and AsA have done to you
You have all earnestly, honestly and at great personal cost done your best when asked by Government to contribute to aviation policy and regulatory development in Australia through review after review, consultation after consultation, committee meeting after committee meeting and investigation after investigation and for what? The volume of regulation is actually INCREASING. The "just culture" is a joke - ask Glen Buckley. Avmed is a disaster - see the actual submissions and examples from DAMES, Mid air collisions proliferate and shonky operators like SOAR get to ply their trade with impunity, meanwhile anyone unlucky enough to draw the ire of the jackbooted thugs who run this administrative chamber of horrors risks being bankrupted and branded a felon for a smudged entry in a log book.
....And now you get the vapors because you weren't consulted over the terms of reference for the White Paper - the next load of shit being fermented right now for your delectation?
Don't you get it Sandy and the rest of you? They hate you, period. It's that nasty obverse of Australian egalitarianism - envy of anyone(except sporting heroes) who has anything they cant have or do things they cant do. The Government hates you because you represent a liability and you occupy desirable real estate, the Department hates you because you are a nuisance to themselves, the RPT crowd and Defence. CASA hates you because you represent a threat to their omnipotence and careers. There is NO ONE in Government who doesn't wish you would all go away.
Take the current mob; does anyone honestly think that a Labor Government competing for Green inner city votes is going to do anything at all that would increase investment, growth and job creation in a fossil fuel intensive industry like aviation? Not a hope in hell! Avgas sprays lead pollution all over the country and there are even inner city Greens who complain about the noise of ambulance helicopters, let alone the rest of the fleet.
Its plain as day what the white paper is going to do to GA - sacrifice it to St. Greta on the climate change altar while Adam Bandt and a host of property developers look on.
Meanwhile behind closed doors the bureaucrats must be laughing their heads off as its obvious that everyone gets the joke except pilots and engineers.
When I heard Binskins plea about water under the bridge, I thought of this:

Give up and forget reform. It isnt going to do anything to help you.
