K.. I'll contribute a cigar to the cause. The exploding one.
Re EAA and US AOPA. MANY, many more folk make up those two organisations than all of little OZ.
AND..they do have a very fervent belief in the US of A in individual rights and freedoms. And a Bill of Rights.
They just don't put up with any sub-standard output from the regulator there..AOPA will field a team of lawyers etc to go to Washington for a "chat".
Here you wouldn't even get through the bloody door and past "Security".
That CASA is a supreme pisser up against the wall function for taxpayers dollars here's some examples....
1. Need a clean sheet statement, written in CB, signed..?? Registered mail to FNQ... $5 CASA personage to visit / holiday in FNQ to get statement signed....$ 5000.?
2. Need to ask a question of an FNQ person why a court case went tits up?
Does email exist??. Que??
My sympathies dont lie with the Furzer Ave cave -dwellers tho August is a very cold month in CB, so two? people fly to TVL (warm) to ask ONE question of the case cocker-upper. Wot went wrong Peter? (Larard)
Oh, I didnt read my (totally bull!!!!!) statement properly and I just used the generic term "elevators" by mistake.!! TVL holiday.. $10K..?? FFS !!
Total cost to the taxpayer of this failed CASA case has been whinged at $350 K
Small bikkies!
3.Total cost of the JQ debacle ...Millions and counting.!! More to come.
4. Recent CNS "investigation" cock up, Haslam et al, How many $s K?
Why should we know.
I suppose we have to be thankful these "people" are not in charge of the IMF.
They could drive the world crazy .. and broke.
SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO TERMINATE THIS DEBACLE.
