Sandy:
”The only real hope for aviation in Australia is for the administration to be conducted through a Department of Government with a Minister in charge, this is the proven Westminster system”.
That pretty much sums it up. Sandy is bang on the money. A junior Minister for aviation would be a step in the right direction. To be followed by rewriting the ridiculous Act, adopting the NZ regs and dismantling and then rebuilding CASA. But to have that sort of change implemented within our government really hinges solely on having an event occurring such as a national carrier laying fragmented in the bottom of a smoking hole. An unpalatable thought.
The wiley Loyola Lawyer dropped Spence headfirst onto a giant bucket of **** early in the peace. While he remains cleaner than a Priests frock, she looks like she has been mudlarking on the River Thames. Once again, the Doc puts his own personal stamp on CASA while making the CEO/DAS of the day look like a complete breadcrumb. Welcome to life at CASA Pip, fun times for all. I hope you realise that your credibility is completely destroyed. Your only shot at retribution is to rid CASA of its dross and reform the regulator. Good luck on that count.
In regards to Tomato Head Joyce, he will be in opposition sometime after May 2022. Team Morrison are damaged goods. The creators of the ‘great Australian aviation elephant in the room white paper’, team Labor, will be back to wreck further damage to our already broken country.
Glen, the best outcome we can hope for is financial compensation for you. You’ve earned it, you deserve it, you are entitled to it. That would be a positive outcome for you, your family, and those who support you from the sidelines. Anything above that such as a CASA reform/restructure/giant pineapple from the Minister would be a little extra treacle on the pudding, but not something to hold one’s breath waiting for.
