This particular debate won't. Lowdown had the right idea. Get CASA back to its core business of regulation rather than running the organisation as a business (completely discredited under Monarch and Seaview) and then get the politicians to stop using aviation as their own political football to curry favour with industry constituents. Either you have an authority that is meant tyo regulate - or you disband it and let the policiticians run the show directly.

They can't have their cake and eat it - which is what they all try to do - beating up CASA because it is too harsh (when some industry recalcitrant complains) and then in the same breath beating up CASA for not being tough enough as soon as there is an accident or incident. The shallowness of their approach is overwhelming and reeks of hypocrisy in the extreme. But what else would you expect from our elected leaders who are there to serve themselves rather than taking a proper and consistent moral stance on the issue.
