Perhaps you are right, but that is not my feeling.
First, look at when the NDA is being held, AFTER the election, but very early in the new term, straight after the NAS windback.
Secondly, look at where it will be reported, aviation press only.
Third, and to take a little swipe at Creampuff,
Advisor (AKA Junior Minister) "Minister, there are a whole bunch of little planes in the sky, obeying the law, flying responsibly, submitting flightplans and even making sure their transponders are working properly"
Minister "So"
Advisor "But the AFAP and CivilAir don't like it and Airservices can't cope"
Minister "Stuff the unions, and sack the Airservices board!!!"
What it really is, is a door opener. Recall the previous press releases calling for a GA Whitepaper?? (Look on the website).
Give them some credit mate, especially compared to the last disaterous 'rabble'.
The downside is if the union driven ALP get elected, but then, have you seen the "AOPA how to vote"
