Good try Dick but I can't see Mr Turnbull doing much other than passing it down the line until it ends up in the bureaucratic quagmire. Not sure anyone up there gives a stuff about GA.
Thorn Bird is right. The cost of gaining and maintaining an IR is already out of reach for most private guys. Unless you're using it all the time (as in commercial) its just too hard. The training costs are going to balloon even more once the flying schools increase their prices to recover the costs of ADSB compliance.


Appreciate your efforts though, keep up the fight.

On a side note and just for the record, its POINT Lonsdale.
