Re: ASIC mess
Start annoying your local member, as well as Truss. make sure you can document some of the things you think are wrong with the system.
Join an industry organisation, RAAA, AOPA etc. regardless of what you think, they will have more clout than you, the individual.
Finally, make sure you have some idea of what needs to be done, to fix all this up.
It is a mess.
