"The baseless criticism we sometimes receive—frequently misinformed, sometimes mischievous and at times personally abusive-is regrettable, unhelpful and dangerously erosive of public confidence in Australia’s system of aviation safety."
Does this then, apply to criticism from the Senate Committee, individual Senators, several MP, the ABC, domestic and international press, various accredited international aviation bodies; airlines, unions, AMROBA, Qantas cabin crew, legal opinion, GA associations and my barber; or is it just the chosen few???. I mean, what could CASA possibly have done to earn a bad name and get publicly hammered (Norfolk perhaps?, Barrier, or Quadrio ?); Nah. ..I expect even the motion to disallow was brought about by the ignorant, uninformed dregs of society and had nothing whatsoever to do with good sense prevailing and preventing yet another piece of rubbish, thinly disguised as "law" being inflicted once again, on industry.
The fat lady always has the last words:-
Lady Macbeth . I pray you, speak not; he grows
worse and worse;
Question enrages him. At once, good-night:
Stand not upon the order of your going,
But go at once.
(Although, I alway picture Lady MacB as rail thin).
