Feedback to the Government
In fact the very forum needed is right here. If we were to collectively express well reasoned and solidly supported arguments without emotive argument and address them to Tony Abbott right here on this forum, in this thread, it could quickly gain credibility. Its credibility would be completely dependent on the quality of our comment.
It could potentially get quickly and unfiltered, to decision makers. This could in effect become the funnelling point. It could become a barometer of industry without the bureaucratic processes that we have come to expect.
This is fast becoming a very serious issue for the Government to address. Numerous small businesses will be decimated under a Government that is supposedly the advocate of small business, under a Government that is supposedly reducing Red Tape, under a Government that should be encouraging income from overseas. This is fast becoming an issue effecting enough people that it will soon become an electoral issue.
Hopefully the Government could see fit to ask an older more experienced person to get in and become a advocate of Industry and a mediator. Perhaps someone with a mix of small business experience initially, and large Corporate experience later in their career. Ideally someone who has also worked in CASA. It would be ideal I guess, if they had a passion for the industry, absolute disdain for unnecessary red tape, experience in both the fixed wing and rotary side, someone with International exposure.
Let me think about that a little more over some toast with Dick Smith Marmalde.
