DICK SMITH, PLEASE ANSWER THIS POST.
Dick,
If your issue with Williamtown is so near to you, why have you not been in the public eye, on the news/current affair/whatever complaining about it before now?
Why have you taken the focus of trying to actually find the missing aircraft and tried to make it one of an airspace classification and usage.
You were asked long before this came to the media if you have anything to contribute and you said no.
You have hijacked this issue, both here, in the media and they eyes of the public, to push your own, very tenuously linked, agenda, and removed the best chance in about 30 years of us raising the profile of it to where we could maybe bring about a successful conclusion to this story. You have made it, not about the fact that the plane still hasn't been found, but about you and your misguided war on the RAAF.
Why did you feel the need to take away an opportunity for people to think, "that's a shame they haven't found it, what can we do to change it" to one of "that's a shame that someone that is supposed to be an experienced aviation professional accused the a government organisation of killing 5 people, we should concentrate on Williamtowns very peripheral role".
Dick, please, when answering this, don't bang on about how you are going to change the system, or give me the story of how you offered to do this and that, just answer what I wrote.
