CP #- "That outcome is almost entirely the consequence of governments selling off and abrogating responsibility for airports, and almost nothing to do with CASA."..
Spot on – and what a tangled web that is: been pondering on how best to tackle the 'vexed' issues that single topic raises for a while. It's quite a mares nest (or buggers muddle, if you like), I was sort of hoping that the AAT (Archerfield v Albo et al) and some of the smoke coming off the Bankstown mess may 'ease' the way to open discussion. Looking over some of the Hansard from estimates provides a mud map of sorts, but the 'clumsy' questions seem to be very easily deflected by Master Mrdak and it's not entirely clear what the issues (if any) are. But, it is a big subject, albeit well camouflaged and robustly 'protected' (so to speak). If someone wants to kick off a thread I think it would be of great interest; probably achieve sod all - but it would be informative.
But where to start, NFI – anyone out there with an opening gambit???
