One should be mindful of the possibility of a D/D election if the current Senate proves unworkable. If Abbott can't govern with what he has, he will loose nothing by calling another election. It's a 50/50 chance and the plebs will eventually get the government they deserve.
A joint sitting of parliament to break the deadlock could work, but this is only a short term budget solution. (I'm certain Labor won't block supply). The LNP may attempt to legislate minor parties out of existence, (with the help of Labor), but he still needs a new election sooner or later.
If this be, aviation must be put on the table of "promises". Fawcett certainly has the runs on the board to get this seen to and he must make Brandis aware of the goings on at FF, the CVD situation and the AAT.

In the meantime, sign the CVD petition ad write Brandis a letter.
