When did these things below [your list] start going really badly
it's about so much more than IR, although that is one of the hot topics for any employee.
What about airport privatisation?
What about CASA & ASA Cost recovery?
What about CASA regulations?
What about the cost of compliance with those constantly changing regulations?
What about the knock-on effects on the slowly shrinking GA industry: loss of "uneconomical" fuel facilities, loss of maintenance expertise, loss of maintenance support?
Many of these issues we see in aviation are common problems across many industries - our particular problem is that our margins in Aviation (and GA in particular) are so small, yet the industry is so important so so many aspects of Australian life.
I would suggest that the Nats are the only ones with a policy because they are the only party that isn't totally weighted towards the cities, and they can actually understand the importance of Aviation to their communities.
Oh yeh, thats right, during the last Liberal/National Coalition
The Transport Ministerial Goon Squad Quartet [former Federal Government Transport Ministers]
NATIONALS 
- Sharp, Anderson, Vaile, & Truss
Is Truss the current shadow?? What has he said or done?
Sorry mate, get real
That is not to say the current dunce is any better for Aviation

the only employer in a particular profession, and
the employer is the Government
