Sunfish, perhaps an even more eye opening scenario would be the loss of say VH-BBJ into a smoking hole? Maybe brought on by an unfortunate TIBA issue? Or caused by an A320 cadet with minimal hours climbing through BBJ's decent path with its warning systems U/S ? That would certainly awaken the sleeping Government from its comatose state. Unlikely scenarios I agree, but one that would inflict instant change especially if the 'system' was the cause. But imagine the Beaker and all his painful mi mi mi-ing and panicking about how to investigate the accident with a budget of just $500!
'Aviation, what aviation?"
