The Regulatory Reform Program will drift along forever

[Creampuff]

We can work out what ‘shortly’ means, by a process of elimination

July 2012: Civil Aviation Safety Authority - July 2012

CASA will have the remaining new parts of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations made as law shortly, bringing an effective end to the regulatory reform program.

That was 5 months ago.

So we now know that, in CASA-speak, ‘shortly’ does not mean ‘within 5 months’.

We’ve also worked out that, in CASA-speak, ‘not be long’ means ‘at least 8 years’.

Any decade now, we’ll find out the precise meaning of those terms.
