Comfort yourselves with the knowledge that while the pollies are distracted to citizenship controversies and office affairs, they aren’t meddling with things the don’t understand. Like government.
LB,
That is cold comfort in the aviation sector, given the "demonstrated competence" of CASA, as the guardians of something called air safety, and Airservices, whose "well regarded abilities" will be the subject (along with CASA) at the next Senate Estimates.
As for Barnaby, the hyperventilating has been quite extraordinary, and apart from the "usual suspects" (opinion makers/Balmain basket weavers/chardonnay socialists/watermellons/Greens/warmists catastophists/ABC "experts"/ratbag of choice) all with addresses within 10km. of a GPO, and to whom a cowpat is a friendly gesture, the political opportunism dressed up a moralising has been quite something. Except from Tony Burke, I wonder why??
Something I should point out: It was the Nationals that kept the Government in at the last Federal election, and it will be the National/QLD LNP that will determine the outcome of the next Federal election.
So, if you think a Bill Shorten/CFMEU government is the answer to aviation's survival prayers, with a traditional inner city lefty as the Minister, cheer on the present nonsense.
But, if you are out in "the bush", among real people, not inner city hipsters, the people where the price of a a smashed avo. on toast is not an existential issue, the attitude is very different.
Tootle pip!!
