With respect, the trouble as I see it is that it's Dick's way or the highway - nothing has changed on that front in 20 years or so. His philosophy has been previously quoted as "crash through or crash" and ultimately it's usually been "crash".
Having said that, I want GA to be a thriving business activity here in Australia as much as everyone else does too.
Personally, I would like to see him use his significant promotional skills in other worthy causes (such as increasing cancer research funds for example) rather than in aviation.
But that's just me speaking...
