The display put on by the Chair and senators in the inquiry is nothing short of embarrassing -childish comments and questions, complete lack of understanding of the regulations and the law
Blackhand and Gaunt,
You would do well to give the CV of Senator Fawcett some close scrutiny. He is probably the most qualified aviation expert we have had in the Commonwealth Parliament. And last time I noticed, his civil license and most of his ratings were current. He is far more qualified than Gaunt, I suspect, as for Blackhand, who knows.
Bill Heffernan is also a pilot, his license is not current, but he has long experience on the RRAT, and what has been unearthed so far in the latest of the many inquiries into CASA (and its predecessors) is there for all to see in the Hansard.
Tootle pip!!
