Running in the House of Reps is pointless. There are too few Dickolytes in Mackellar to get him voted in.

Run in the Senate and make sure every pilot, aircraft owner and engineer, every ATCer and every enthusiast votes for you. Your potential constituency would change from 150,000 to the full population of NSW.

...you will also have 6 years in the job (double dissolutions notwithstanding) and more time to ensure changes promised are actually delivered.

In other news, assuming Barnaby is re-elected this year, he will probably be Minister for Transport. There are a number of operators in his electorate and I for one know he "gets it". There is some hope yet.
