The check list
Glen you have put the case for your convictions and method very well. I admire your attempt to have the government people to own up to their obligations. But as your situation evolved, and in conjunction with the whole dysfunctional administration of aviation, then comes into question whether the ‘checklist’ is fit for purpose?
Having heard the former long serving Premier of Victoria Henry Bolte declaring that the Ombudsman concept was wrong in principle, by detracting from the duties of MPs, and latterly coming to realise how right he was, so too the wrongful separation of aviation administration out of the Westminster traditional Department and away from Ministerial responsibility.
It would be daunting to take a case to the courts but our courts are the final line of appeal, and where facts matter, and assessments are made to hold corporations and individuals to account.
But whatever direction you take be assured of continuing support, wellbeing is the most important factor. Good luck with your dental work.
