Sunfish,
Democracy only works if you participate. You and many others have allowed CASA to run rampant over aviation by succumbing to the fear of retribution. Consequently when they seek to change rules or other hold inquiries into aviation, the meek cower in the corner out of fear desperately hoping that someone else will do the heavy lifting. Contrast that with the US where submissions to the review of 3rd class medical attracted several hundred thousand submissions. The Forsyth enquiry barely scraped over 100 submissions and NPRM's are usually in the 10's. If you and many others don't participate the aviation community gets what it deserves.
Democracy doesn't start and finish with voting - it actually requires a continuing participation. That is how we got an experimental category.
