ATSB was created as an independent Commonwealth corporate body by then Minister Albanese in 2009. As soon as this came about ATSB began to take on the familiar characteristics of this type of government entity. CASA is the ‘perfect’ example of the type, the incentives have altered. Make work prevails; economy, efficiency and timelines suffer. A little off topic but as an excellent example the photo illustrates the results of the hands off approach, the broken model of governance that’s common to CASA and the ATSB. A model that is increasingly a feature of the Commonwealth Government as Ministers inappropriately distance themselves from responsibility. Probably we don’t pay Ministers enough, Mr. Carmody gets twice as much as his Minister so who is boss?
Why have we lost hundreds of flying schools and maintenance orgs?
