I wonder who provides such advice to the minister who does not seem to be aviation savvy or perhaps care?
There is every reason to believe he is in complete thrall to his department. A "Ministerial directive" served up to him by "the Department", but founded in AsA and CASA??
Face to face, Truss very clearly demonstrates his quite in-depth knowledge of aviation's problems, across the board. This comes as a complete surprise to many people.
In my opinion, this makes his complete inaction, across the (aviation) board, even more reprehensible.
From Truss's complete inaction, you would never know how important light aviation is, to regional, rural and remote Australia, and as an export jobs generator.
Tootle pip!!
