Warren Truss Vows to Unsaddle Regional Aviation Costs
Readers of this site may be interested in a newspaper article entitled, “Warren Truss Vows to Unsaddle Regional Aviation Costs” by Steve Creedy in The Australian dated December 17, 2013 where Minister Warren Truss made it clear that red tape is going to be removed.

It is imperative that we hold our elected representatives accountable.
