This is the reason vested interests here are fighting so hard for a mandate. The great unwashed mustn't be allowed to have any say in the matter.
If that happens before any subsidy, you can watch any free handouts go up in a cloud of smoke and mirrors.
In my research, I am today advised that there has been no formal proposal submitted to Airservices in relation to a subsidy. That would explain why we can't get anything in writing from anyone who signs the cheques.
