The cross industry funding was never a goer because Qantas has never agreed.
And we all know who runs aviation in Australia.
I believe the funding proposal was an astute way of getting the GA industry to say they supported ADSB.
Then ,of course it is found that the subsidy is not possible however because of previous announcements of support from GA the mandate goes ahead anyway.
The result? Less people fly and are employed in GA because of even higher costs and more people are forced to fly with Qantas and the other airlines.
