The only thing the Australian politician knows about aviation, is that pretty dolly bird in the skirt will serve him a tea, coffee or beer on the flight to Canberra.

That quote came from Arthur Schutt, as I refuelled his C210 in 1988 in the NT.
RIP Arthur, you would turn in your grave at the lack of activity at YMMB these days!
