A very neatly crafted set of ‘facts and circumstance’ - ala CASA. It may squeak through the AAT; it may even give the Senate Committee pause for thought.  The real test is; will it stand up to a determined, righteous challenge, in a ‘real’ court? Will Falcon take them on? Time will tell – but.

If this Senate committee is going to deal with this outrage, then maybe, perhaps the whole thing (Pel-Air, Airtex, Skymaster, Falcon)– soup to nuts - should be evaluated, in camera. Should the committee offer full protection to all and the factual, hard edged, cash and no bullshit truth of it all be revealed;then, there would be no way open except the complete rebuilding of the CASA 'servicing' of aviation.

CASA is a seriously buggered up outfit – Carmody has not got the balls, brains or backbone to sort it out. He stood back and watched Byron get shafted, shunted and shown the bloody door. What chance has he now? Nothing personal – he’s just a dancing bear, performing as directed by the music – simply because he just does not know what else to do.

The Skidmore dog and pony show, followed by the Carmody soft shoe shuffle has wasted two years (nearly three) of real reform, really happening. If this Senate committee get baffled by bullshit, this time around – well, its time to shuffle off to a quiet place – one without aircraft noise. Should be easy enough to find – probably on a landfill which used to be an aerodrome.

Enough with the polite, no outcome waffle and the O’Sullivan stone wall. He wants evidence – but won’t hear it, proof, but won’t read it; and fancy’s himself ‘the expert’. Not in my book he ain’t; not by a long shot. FFS – just get on with it, stop pissing about.

Now that’s what I love - a physic bartender. Thank you – and keep the change.
