It's interesting how the current government has inherited a diseased, broken and out of control aviation industry, a condition decades in the making and predominately at the hands of government bureaucracies - yet it refuses to act, refuses to acknowledge the problems, refuses to listen to industry, refuses to act proactively with honesty and integrity??? What are you scared of Miniscule?
No, he is not the least bit scared, there were no serious election promises about aviation, because to most voter aviation is airlines, and CASA and the "Australian Rules" are great, must be, because we have the "world's best safety record"(which we don't).
I can think that I can say, with great confidence, that in order of importance, aviation is not on his top 10 "to do" list, indeed, about the only aviation matter of interest to the Government is: "Would it have any effect on re-election of the Government if Qantas went broke or real control was sold off".
Sad, but true.
At the recent NP national conference, aviation as a policy matter was not mentioned in any meaningful way.
The best hope we have is Senator David Fawcett chipping away.
Tootle pip!!
