Who’s stopping the tower being reestablished? Why has it not been reestablished? Because the cost is not justified by the risk!

That’s called “affordable safety”.

If CASA’s mandate was really what Mr Carmody said on 22 Feb at Estimates it is - to “make certain” that e.g. RPT operations in and out of Wagga are “as safe as possible”, Mr Carmody would be banning RPT operations in and out of Wagga until the tower is reestablished. Dick cannot stop Mr Carmody from doing that.

RPT operations in and out of Wagga are not as safe as they could possibly be, because there is no tower, and it’s possible for CASA to do something about that. But CASA isn’t doing anything about it. We all know why.

That’s Dick’s point.
