"Sad when people don't trust regulator"
Bollocks Half-baked; you can absolutely, positively trust them to do what they do, so very well, every time, as demonstrated on so many occasions. It's about the only non variable element in the ever shifting sands of the great aviation desert war. Such stalwart defendants of truth, justice, expertise, knowledge, fair play and the Australian way must be acknowledged. Modestly, they ask you not to clap or cheer, just throw money.
"No problem officer – we are good, compliant little Vegemites, honest. We tell FAA, ICAO and the bloody Pollies the same thing, all the time. Eh? - what's that? – the Minister in the AAT? – No, no, NO; (little foot stamp here) we are not to blame, read our white paper, we have lodged a difference or two".
Anyway – the hot rumour is, our Wodger has a weport drafted which eloquently explains it all away; so it may be truthfully said four years later we made such a good effort and are so compliant that the Federal Minister for Transport is now staring down the barrel of the AAT system. Even if the case is not good enough to stick; there's a funny, bitter sweet irony and a good dose of poetic justice involved. The LNP must be drooling in delight. Mac Comical – I'm loving it.
