OverFienD, you really have a problem reading & comprehending.

To repeat (again) the object of aviation regulation is safety. Clear enough? Yes, the error is yours.

A 200hr CPL in a charter show works within a framework of regulation and standards, so that the operation is as safe as can be reasonably acheived. There are CASA approved checks and balances designed to optimise safety for the travelling public. The same does not apply to this quasi-private/ commercial show where you may be putting unsuspecting passengers with pilots and aircraft that do not meet the same standards or have the same checks and balances as a charter operation. Do the passengers know this?

As previously explained, airline transport is the safest option. In GA, EMS is the safest, followed by charter, with private ops well behind.

Again as previously explained, where I come from HACC and other volunteers are accredited.

And yet again as previously explained, in Qld the Government DOES pay for these patients who do not qualify for RFDS, to be transported by airline (the PTS scheme).

Perhaps the passion and enthusiam of those supporting AF could be redirected into pushing their government into appropriately funding the health system to do the same.
