I think what is important is what happens in practice. Over the last decade CASA appears to have been responsible for a one way ratchet in increasing costs on GA.
The unique ADSB mandate is just one example. And also part 61.
I have been told many times by CASA people that they do not have any legislative requirement to promote a profitable industry or get more people flying so they can benefit from a safer form of travel.
Seems strange to me that you say they will have to be forced to change. Why would they not want to change and get more people flying.?
