Safety, safety, “safety”.
The Act says it’s a primacy, CAsA uses it as a bludgeon, and aviators are aware of it because their backside depends on the knowledge of it when going aviating.
Top statement in this weekends Oz, by Janet Albrechtsen that certainly resonates.
”Safety Police…a Breeding Ground for Bullies”. As we know.
From her article…
”As Australian republicans gird their loins for debate about what makes a free nation, it’s worth noting that the biggest danger
to our polity doesn’t emanate from our status as a constitutional monarchy.
The dangers come from within, from local council diktats, bureaucratic meddling, stifling university orthodoxy,
government power grabs from people who use safety as a ruse to exert power, to bully their way to an outcome.”
Certainly rings bells for me.!
