Over it – Full stop.
Perhaps; just maybe, it is time to wake up the 'government'. They, like I, are responsible for 'things'. The creation of government backed monopoly's which require and demand 'additional' funding to compete in a market without competition is a total bollocks.
In the real world, a 'monopoly' is a licence to print money. Money returned as dividend to investors.
In the real world a 'government defended monopoly' cannot be attacked by market forces. ASIC as an example.
In the real world a 'monopoly' does not last too long before people wake up and simply stop buying – if they can.
The problem lays in the lack of alternative 'product'. There are some 250,000 brands of toothpaste available – but; only one Air Traffic Control system available in Australia. A very serious, entrenched, government supported monopoly;– one which can and does do exactly as pleases it. Charge what they like – make a fortune in wages and KPI – but still turn up at 'Estimates' just like Oliver Twist, always wanting 'More'. CASA same – same; ATSB beyond recovery, but still demanding more, more, more. BOLLOCKS.
IF – big IF, these 'public (tax payer) serving services' to the industry which pays the bills for these 'monopolies' were offered out to tender – there's likely to be enough money left over to pay off half the national debt and get a better service, for less total cost – by the end of next financial year.
Ministers and Senators – we are being 'ripped-off'. Wholesale and retail; yet the government is too shit scared of the amplified myth, the smoke and mirrors which is alleged to be air safety. Let us be honest here; Qantas have forgotten more about 'aviation safety' than your darling 'regulator' could ever know, at half the cost, even if they studied for the next decade: fact.
Do check the 'real' data – ignore the paranoid reactions and look at say the road kill statistics for example. Aviation is proven to be at least 1000 times safer. Get bloody real, ignore the 'myth' and 'legend'. Take a close look, as the Americans are, at the incredibly dangerous situation which is not only developing at Essendon but across the aerodromes of this nation. Essendon killed people – why? Well there was a ducking great big (approved) building in the aircraft's natural OEI (emergency) flight path – that's why - FDS.
Reality is a strange phenomenon; but it does exist. The reality is, minister, that your sacred cow of 'aviation safety' is not only strangling an industry- but killing it; by suffocation, through the sheer weight of it's body.
So. Wake up – or piss off. Take that idiot from Qld with you. The one who tried to score 'political points' from a position of zero understanding. Watts – Whathisname has been officially designated an 'inutile target'. God's help him – we won't.
Ayup – Sorry P2 – Guilty as charged - PWP and PO'd. But, not to worry – I'm one up in this darts round and there's enough left in the keg to see the night out. But, no barkeep – best help myself then – not a problem. What! - Oh, my throw?
