SENATE INQUIRIES; ENJOYABLE TO WATCH, ROBUST ENTERTAINMENT.....COMPLETE PONY POOH.
I am a fan of Senate inquiries. They air the dirty linen, it provides an opportunity for us, the viewer, to have a giggle watching the bureaucratic dross squirm and wriggle while sweating under the spotlight. But let’s face it, let’s be brutally honest, it’s smoke and mirrors. When have you seen a DAS or alphabet soup agency Exec get rolled? When have you seen a Miniscule rolled? When have you seen real measurable change? All we have seen is this;
- 30 years of a regulatory reform program and half a billion dollars later and it isn’t finished, in fact it is still utter shit.
- General Aviation is now almost a distant memory of a once great industry and is fondly remembered because it pretty much no longer exists.
- Unworkable regulations, growing compliance requirements, unreasonable costs and downright stupidity by the government aviation oversight organisations has killed everything aviation.
No, sorry, all the enquirers in the world have achieved little. Even when there are recommendations the Government ‘accepts’ them, but doesn’t commit to any actual change. Yep, it’s all just a big game.
P.S The photo of the Heff, wow, the man looks nice and relaxed. It doesn’t suit him. The bulldog needs to be brawling! C’mon Heff, come back to the Senate mate, still lots of big fish to fry!
