Two events caught my eye today.
1) "Our" Minister, Warren Truss, was outed by the media as spending approximately $21,000 to charter an aircraft so as to give a breakfast talk on "tightening belts" in the Government and welfare sectors, particularly exhorting pensioners to be more frugal.

2) CASA is allegedly holding a series of "town meetings" with the aviation community, to be attlended by Skidmore and
senior CASA Executive Managers. To receive "feedback" from industry.
Could I be forgiven for thinking that the only possible good these Two events represent is the injection of $21,000 into the charter industry?
What possible motivation could Truss have for lifting a finger for the aviation industry given his demonstrated total hypocrisy?
What possible use is there in attempting to talk to Skidmore, particularly when he is attended by the authors of our misery - the executive management group?
