"We as a government are going to make sure that there is no limitation in terms of resourcing that may be needed to provide the appropriate levels of surveillance, if there is resourcing needed it will be provided."
Okey dokey then... first off all. How about unburdening the FOIs around the country from their paperwork load and get them OUT OF THE OFFICE and on the ramp, in the cockpit, in the crewroom etc. In a similar way to the police moving administration duties to unsworn staff to get front sworn officers back at the front line. Mr Vaile do you not understand that YOUR GOVERNMENT has been reducing staff numbers in all the wrong areas and loading the operational staff up with admin duties that could be done by a clerk.
Example: I have been flying for twenty three years in commercial operations all around Aus with 11,000 hours, how many ramp checks do you think I have had? How many would be reasonable...TRY ZERO!
Mr Vaile put your money where your mouth is and RESOURCE the HELL OUT OF IT!
