Truss: Aviation Safety Regulation Review

[Sarcs]

Phil gets my vote for WLR GA adviser!

Maybe if Aerial Ag Phil was to replace the other, Department picked, Phil () as the GA expert adviser to the WLR we may end up with a well-tended lettuce & pineapple crop for ’14 , we could certainly expect Pete the pot plant to get some respect…
Again I question the legitimacy of the other Phil’s mob…especially after reading this disturbing bit of the AAAA submission..:

AAAA was aghast when the CEO of CASA unilaterally cut sponsorship support of a number of Associations and then linked that action to criticism of CASA by those Associations. AAAA has no problem with CASA spending its sponsorship dollar where it thinks it will get the best return – after all, most of the ‘dollars’ come from industry.

While the size of support AAAA received was immaterial ($9,000 per annum to support the National Convention – for which CASA received considerable commercial sponsorship benefits) the principle of trying to intimidate Associations by manipulating funding was simply disgusting.

To draw a direct line between CASA patronage and intimidation of free speech not only flows against public service guidelines or good practice, it is an unethical approach to managing the relationship between CASA and representative industry bodies that have previously worked genuinely with CASA over many years to deliver regulatory change and safety promotion.

The main reason many Associations have purposefully withdrawn from any contact with the senior management of CASA is because it is a completely unfruitful and hostile environment. AAAA certainly feels that the resources of members are more usefully applied in areas other than trying to maintain a clearly failed relationship with the current senior management of CASA

That passage beggars belief , sort of like what you would expect to hear coming out of a dictatorial or socialist bureaucratic regime….FFS!

VOTE 1 for Aerial Ag Phil (not the other Phil..)

Creamy I'll raise your two clapping hands with a thumbs up for the AAAA submission..
