A little over two and a half years ago, an article by Steve Creedy appeared in
The Australian entitled "CASA must consider cost of regulation: Warren Truss".
Here is a link.
It stated, among other things, that the Civil Aviation Safety Authority will be required:
“to consider the economic and cost impact of regulation”
Has anyone seen any measurable change in the last two and a half years in relation to this very brave move by Warren Truss?
It was certainly a change in the position that was started by John Anderson, where he made it quite clear that cost was not to be a consideration when it came to safety. Here are his famous statements:
“I don’t think you should ever regard aviation safety as what is affordable”
“Safety is something which has the highest priority – it is not a question of cost.”
