The glib assertations of Davis can easily be countered by equally glib soundbites by the right person.
"100 hour pilots"?
"Why do airlines require less hours to fly a fully loaded airliner than the NSW Govt demands to get a Provisional Drivers licence?"
"Is a 100 hour driver less safe than a 1500 hour driver?"
Put it in the language that people can easily relate to and you will get the message across.
