Yeah, because GA is what makes the world go round and puts food on the table for the majority (!) of the people ... Did you also ask them on their policy on golf courses and other decision-relevant causes?
Way down in the bowels of the Labor Party, there WILL be someone who has developed a policy position on both of those issues. The fact that it isn't published or if it is, you don't know it, means nothing.
Starting with golf courses (these are not my personal views):
1. They are major irrigators using lots of our scarce and precious water. (strike one).
2. They use lots of fertilizers which creates a run-off problem, blue green algea in local waterways. (pollution, strike two).
3. They use lots of chemical insecticides and weed killers to maintain the greens (more pollution, strike three).
4. They require exclusive use of what should be public open space - parks (exclusive land use, strike four).
5. The private golf courses are elitist, exclusive and predominantly the abode of rich white males (strike five - they don't vote for us).
Anyone think an Albanese Government is going to be friendly to golfers?
Now lets look at GA.
1. They use lots and lots of leaded petrol and are thus a major source of lead pollution (strike one).
2. All Private aircraft are very expensive and thus owned by rich white males who don't vote for us, pilots are also stuck up elitists. (strike two).
3. GA aircraft use internal combustion engines that contribute to global warming. (strike three).
4. GA aircraft use airports that take up scarce public land that could be better used by the community as parks, kindergartens, etc. (strike four)
5. Recreational aircraft burn scarce, polluting, fossil fuel for private enjoyment, how dare they? (strike five)
6. And finally, aircraft make lots of noise that enrage our supporters living close to airports.
Yep, we are right down there with the golfers. We will be lucky if we get no attention at all.
You need to own an electric aircraft that requires no training because that would be elitist and its also got to be LGTPQI whatsit friendly.
