Well for someone that is all 'hot air', big on rhetoric..small on actions it would seem Wazza is not fazed by spreading his love of FF around a large slice of his constituents..
:
Entsch to pursue CASA’s evidence to Senate hearing
By MARK BOUSEN
FEDERAL Member for Leichhardt Warren Entsch will study the transcripts of last week’s Senate Estimates Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport Legislation Committee hearing to determine if the Parliament has been misled over facts relating to Barrier Aviation.
Mr Entsch told the Torres News his concerns centre on the evidence before the Estimates Committee from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority under questioning from Senator David Fawcett, a former RAAF and commercial pilot.
Senator Fawcett directed numerous, probing questions to the CASA representatives about the demise of Barrier Aviation, almost 12 months ago despite a virtually exemplary record over about 20 years.
Mr Entsch says he will study the transcripts "very closely" and provided a copy to the owner of the Barrier Aviation, David Kilin, as a matter of urgency.
Senator Fawcett met with Mr Kilin recently.
Mr Entsch said: "From my understanding of CASA’s evidence, it’s in conflict with what we’ve been told by Barrier Aviation.
"It seems to be a direct contradiction to what’s been provided so far. I am very keen to peruse the entire evidence to the Estimates Committee from CASA to see if the Parliament has been misled.
"And if the Parliament has been misled, the individuals should be held accountable."
Last week’s hearing coincides with the release of the details of the independent review of aviation safety regulation in Australia.
Mr David Forsyth AM, will Chair the review panel which is expected to start taking evidence before the end of the year.
Mr Forsyth is a prominent figure in Australian aviation. He is the chair of Safeskies Australia, former chair of Airservices Australia and has over 30 years of experience in safety management and aviation business.
Mr Forsyth will be joined by Mr Don Spruston, former Director General of Civil Aviation at Transport Canada and former Director General of the International Business Aviation Council, and Mr Roger Whitefield, former Head of Safety at British Airways, former safety adviser to Qantas and former United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority board member.
Mr Entsch strongly encouraged people to come forward and give evidence to the hearing.
"This will provide a brilliant opportunity for people who believe they have been poorly treated by CASA or individuals in CASA to be heard.
"This will give them a chance to state their case about any vendettas or bastardry that they believe has been directed at them. 
"It’s been a year since CASA shut Barrier Aviation down and the airline still has not had a chance to present its case.
"Barrier withdrew its recent action, simply because it ran out of money.
"There seems to be a pattern where matters are drawn out by CASA until the airlines are broken, and they do not allow them any avenue of redress."
Mr Entsch says he encourages anyone with a grievance to make a submission.
"I’ve had a lot of people contact me who have been afraid of victimisation if they speak up; this inquiry gives them an opportunity to provide evidence in camera. This will offer them anonymity and protect them from intimidating threats of defamation.
"People can be honest and frank."
Mr Entsch believes a "common thread" will emerge from the inquiry.
"The inquiry is wide-ranging and broad enough for everyone to present their case. I’m really looking forward to the review panel’s suggestions."
Barrier Aviation had operated from bases in Horn Island, Cairns, Darwin and Gove with a fleet of more than 30 aircraft and 50 staff.
According to CASA’s statement, the time lines of events are:
December 23, 2012: CASA suspends Barrier Aviation’s air operator’s certificate.
* February 22, 2013: The Federal Court of Australia made an order prohibiting Barrier Aviation from conducting operations for a set period.
March 13, 2013: CASA then cancelled the air operator’s certificate held by Barrier Aviation.
March 15, 2013: Barrier Aviation applied to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal for review of this decision.
July 31, 2013: CASA refused an application for re-issue of an air operator’s certificate.
August 14, 2013: Barrier applied to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal for a review of this decision.
October 16, 2013: Barrier Aviation withdrew its applications to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.
* (Torres News understands the court order expired at 5pm that afternoon; meaning the court order expired on the afternoon on the day it was issued.)
Hmm..Wazza sure is no shrinking violet over his rhetorical attack on FF, maybe he is contemplating going out with a bang before riding off into the sunset on his hog..
