Gaunty me old,
there is really only two real issues.
1. Do you support an aviation industry in Australia or not?
2. Do you accept that corruption within the current regulator is perfectly acceptable or not?
If the answer to 1. is yes then there needs to be some fundamental changes in the way we regulate, because right now we are exporting our industry to our neighbours who have proper regulations.
If the answer to 2. is yes, then we are all screwed, not just the aviation industry, "banana republic" comes to mind.
