Some things just don't change!
Back in 2003, CASA held the first (and only) FLOT conference in SYD.
One of the comments that came out out that two day conference in the summary was that:
"one of the greatest hazards to safe aviation in Australia was the AG's Dept"....
Still much the same it seems and only the Minister can fix that! But sadly the lawyers have too much say/power still.
