What exactly ARE you talking about?
If RAAus or any organistation have funds invested for the future security of the organisation, they are being financially responsible. The good work and wise moves of any folk in the past does not qualify the cheap/free reign of the present.
If RAAus or any org act responsibly, they should be applauded, not slagged.
I have seen some of what I regard as serious abuse of power (not AUF/RAOz, but other self admin. bodies), because of a monopoly position.
The ones I can think of are groups like Warbirds? ASRA? RAAus?
How many monopoly orgs are there? And of them, they are not monopoly groups in the true sense of the word like say .....only supermarkets are Woolworths from here in. They are THE group based on the set of exemptions they administer, and if I can take a guess at it, none of these groups are blatently ripping off the members.
