I think we also need to look at the current state of GA, and the damage that has been done by privatisation of the secondary airfields, which CASA has NOT been monitoring. If we look at Bankstown, Archerfield and Jandakot we see that the owners want to turn them into industrial parks, the owners being laws unto themselves are breaching the regulations and CASA doing nothing about the breaches.................
Here is a question, how close is the relationship between ATSB and CASA? What I mean is, do both parties take the word of the other as being correct and true without questioning the reply/answer.........
I would be very interested to know what Dick Smiths view on the issue is and what he thinks should be done.
