Dodgybrothers you state:

why would dick care? He's a private pilot and doesn't have to pay.......
Obviously you don’t know my background in aviation reform. In fact, I am fortunate because I can afford the high costs. I have however spent the last 15 years working to remove every unnecessary cost so aviation can boom again.

I suggest you look at this.

I receive many letters from young pilots who can’t get jobs. I believe Australia should be a leader in the world in aviation training and other forms of general aviation. To do this we have to be smart and copy the best from others, and combine that with what we already do that is better.

The reason that I “care” is that I can see the potential and I’d get satisfaction from the industry booming, not being destroyed.

By the way, at the moment everyone has to pay.
