Is Australia more safe or less safe than the USA?
Is NZ more safe or less safe than Australia?
NZ completely reformed their regs in a couple of years and around five millions dollars.(based on US reg's)
Most of the pacific seems to consider NZ reg's work very well, I don't see too many adopting OZ reg's.
At the end of the day it comes down to power, ego's, opinions and rice bowls. If its CAsA's opinion to morph into
a pseudo police force, squander a half billion or so of public money reinventing the wheel along with our over
representation trying to influence ICAO, there seems little likelihood the opinions from what's left of industry being
considered, CAsA is the "Ruling Class" dontchaknow and you plebs will damned will do what your told.
We will decide who can commit aviation in Australia and the manner in which they can do it.
