Agree that we are at a turning point, especially re senate enquiry outcomes. If new regulation comes from a bill drafted around the evidence presented so far, we may all be able to sleep better, hopefully at night and not at flight levels.
The period of pressure-testing and then breeching regulations by LCC, seemingly allowed due to perceptions of special relationships, is over. CASA has been exposed napping in oversight of the majors and will no doubt act far more swiftly to cover the Minister's backside. Reporting protocols to ATSB have been exposed as inadequate. Safety departments will likely get regulated substance. Foreigners should not be working here without proper approvals and IR laws might get a boost. Lets hope that the big end of town decides not to fight to water down this bill behind closed doors.
