puff said is like saying that a commanding tiger moth is the same as an A380.
That's almost exactly what the silver bodgie said 21 years ago, but it was a 747 versus a tiger.
Mstr Caution that is exactly the same person, former CP of AN.
There are many ills threatening the industry, but don't confuse safety with industrial issues, i.e., more money. Senator Xenophon can't help with salary increases. There will be those who will make a connection between safety and salary, tenuous at best, but there isn't one.
We tend to hang our hats on anything that's favourable to our cause, and we all hope the motives of the senator are honourable, but he wouldn't be the first politician to grab a bone and shake the hell out of it for his own personal popularity/gain only to drop it when he's achieved what he's seeking. That's worth remembering.
