“Ironic” is putting it mildly.
Consider the thousands of GA jobs foregone, hundreds of flying schools and charter operators shut down or put off, loss of manufacturing, educational potentials and total losses in terms of the flow on prosperity then “disastrous” is a far more realistic description. In the context of National
security then not less than a scandalous lack of responsibility is on display, such as building warehouses on irreplaceable airport land.
The irresponsible part of Parliament, the Ministers, CASA Board and CEO is now in full view after all of those much vaunted “consultations” and “inquiries” which have resulted in almost nothing more than a massive increase in the CASA CEO’s salary.
Who approved that and why necessary? Reasons? CASA Board? Ms. Spence received $253,089 for the first six weeks of her employment from the 17th May ‘21 to the 30th June ‘21 (CASA annual report). Virtually no action, certainly no shame and even more ludicrous Work Plans and Consultations. Don’t answer letters no matter how polite and considered.
What do they take us for?
When “follow the money” takes on us on an even more breathtaking journey.
And some politicians are asking why Australians are not giving their voting first preferences to the major Parties. Rubbish democratic norms, natural justice and fairness, exclude commonsense and the “journey” is heading towards a precipice.
