MEDIA RELEASE - GA INDUSTRY CONDEMNS MINISTER ALBANESE OVER SAFETY HYPOCRISY
On 6th September 2011 eight prominent General Aviation Industry Organisations jointly signed a Media Release condemning Federal Infrastructure and Transport Minister Hon Anthony Albanese MP over aviation safety hypocrisy.
The Minister permitted a development inside the “Public Safety Area” of the main runway at Archerfield Airport Brisbane despite what he told the Australian People in Parliament on 30th September 2010 - the second reading speech for the Airports Amendment Bill 2010 giving effect to the National Aviation Policy Statement.
Further the Minister failed to do anything to stop inappropriate development in non-compliance with other safety laws designed to protect the airport putting lives at risk and further degrading the airport. CASA also needs to be brought to account to show why it is pasting over safety issues for the Federal Government.
The issues are not isolated to Archerfield Airport but are symptomatic.
