Labor Aviation Policy
Ladies and Gentlemen. I am going to sound old here but it has to be said. I think the last time there was an aviation policy in Australia was when we decided to send to pilots to help out in the Battle of Britain. I have been in this industry for 35 years and have watched it blunder along like a young calf always looking for direction back to its (or anyone's Mum). Sorry to disappoint you but the bad news is that no politician of any pursuation gives a big rats boogly about anything other than getting re-elected. OK, maybe that and their post-career perks. The only direction you will probably ever encounter in regard to direction is that shown by some die-hard aviation enthusiast who refuses to give up. If you encounter someone like that, make every effort to support him or her before they are threatened with dire consequences by the Government appointed support agency designed specifically to bring him or her down.
