"These are your elephants Minister and ultimately you and you alone are responsible for cleaning up the damage; a moribund aviation industry; airfares increased due Govt. wasteful spending, the reports on why an accident happened nugatory, the lessons un-heeded; or, perhaps even a major aviation incident. All pointed out in graphic detail with only one man failing to act responsibly. Imagine the headlines –“Minister fails to act, despite full knowledge”. The minister responsible for Aviation failed to heed industry and Senate warning"
My thoughts entirely Kharon. Well said.
So many risks have now been identified it makes you wonder why the Miniscule continues to play ostrich? He should hope for his sake that no large commercial Australian aircraft eats a mountain while he is still DPM!
Of interest to me is how there are strict management skills requirements in our industry when it comes to a HAAMC, CP, Safety Manager, even the CEO in smaller AOC/COA organisations. A robust system of accountability. Yet the positions/people oversighting the organisations that are equally accountable and are contributing in some way to aviation safety - CAsA, ASA, ATsB so often have nobody with aviation or safety nouse within the CEO/Directors, GM's, Board members positions. ASA had Russell and Staib and Anus Houston. Some describe them all as greasy pole sliders with nothing else to offer. ATsB has accountant Beaker and some other Neville nobody Commissioners, again with diddly squat to offer. CAsA has had a litany of lawyers or folk without 'civil' aviation experience running the joint, and then of course you have the overarching level where the Pumpkin Heads and Farmers who only understand government policies, spin, trough siphoning and turd polishing are in charge.
So you wonder why our aviation is in a flat spin.....TICK TOCk to those ignoring international audit reports, aviation reviews and expert recommendations!
