See here.
This statement is clearly "John Anderson speak" for doing nothing. It worked for John Anderson for over 6½ 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.
It’s pretty sad but we have to keep on, its a duty. Get a few hundred GA people to Can’tberra as is the plan of the AGAA group will give us valuable publicity. The 30 bad news polls can be good news because sooner or later the penny will drop, both major parties will be scrounging for every vote.
We can help them.
