“You cannot rush policy outcomes, especially when it involves people’s safety. If changes are possible, they will be properly considered and broad consultation will be held before any decision is made.”
So goes a quote from an article in
The Australian this morning.
See here.
This statement is clearly "John Anderson speak" for doing nothing. It worked for John Anderson for over 6˝ years – he was one of our longest serving aviation Ministers ever and managed to stay there without making any material change that would assist the industry by using such statements.
Of course, what is left out of the article is that the present Act is a lie. The most important consideration is not safety in many cases when CASA is dealing with powerful airlines. They only use the Act when it is to destroy the weaker general aviation industry.
I despair.
