Does she own Qantas shares or have a niece or nephew that works in aviation?
Let’s be serious; a career bureaucrat does not know the working parts of this industry. She has no idea. She does not understand the negative impact that ‘her’ agency has had on Australian aviation. She does not understand the impact an outdated civil aviation Act and pisspoor regulations have had on the aviation industry. She does not understand how badly her agency has mistreated parts of the aviation industry and engaged in malfeasance and misfeasance.
Message to Pip - you aren’t in charge and neither is your Board. You are a toothless tiger. You are there to ensure that your beloved Minister isn’t embarrassed by any of your agency’s shenanigans. You are there to act as a bullet proof vest to ensure your Minister is never held to account for the shortcomings of your agency. You are a shield of Teflon for your Minister.
