Here is a link to a copy of the aviation safety brochure that was prepared during my time as CASA Chairman.

Are we now to believe there is just one standard of safety?

It is interesting – we sent the brochure out to every politician in Australia and to journalists, and received absolutely no controversy at all. Many people said to me, “Dick, that is just common sense. It should have been said before.”

I understand when I resigned from CASA that the brochure disappeared. Someone reckoned it was shredded, others said it was simply dumped. Does anyone know what actually happened to it?

Should it now be re-written to show we have one level of safety and the reality of affordability is no longer a factor?
