Bear in mind there has just been a review, finished in November I think. The question is will it change the current setup?

Bases -- Cairns, Townsville, Horn Is, Rocky, Sunshine C, 2 x Brissy, Mt Isa, maybe 1 other in central QLD.
Really? A $17M AW139 at Mt Isa, where my sources tell me the current setup does maybe 1 (mostly unnecessary) flight a month? Why? (not taking the piss, genuine question).

The others, yep, and would also include Toowoomba which is possibly the busiest HEMS base in the State.

Interesting times ahead perhaps.
