Buck passing Muppets.
Last night's display in Senate Estimates was seriously concerning..

Mr Carmody was previously a Deputy Secretary in the Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development (DIRD). In that role he was responsible for the the Aviation and Airports Division.
He is now acting CEO CASA. The acting Executive Director (Aviation and Airports) Ms Pip Spence, was previously the General Manager Aviation and Airports. They should both know this space inside out!

Given Senator Fawcett (South Australia) and others have been agitating for Commonwealth planning guidance regarding Public Safety Areas both 'on-airport' and for land 'off-airport' immediately adjacent to airports for sometime, WHY has nothing been done yet?

As far as I understand the NASAG last met in 2012. Hello - it is now 2017!

NASF Guideline B is inadequate and an additional Guideline regarding the protection of Public Safety Areas is still not complete? Why has it taken nearly 5 years to address these deficiencies?
