This report does sound like the start-up dribble for justifying more money spent on "Commissions" or "Inquiries" and the like.

The Government should simply reduce alcohol tax to keep the public in a continual inebriated state instead of throwing money at these spin doctors.

"Taxpayers have some responsibility, but the industry has to pay as well," said Maharey, who was briefed on Friday on the association's findings.
Taxpayers have some responsibility...

Air NZ gets free pilots already!! They have absolutely no cadet scheme nor do they put a concerted effort into the GA sector to promote growth.

King said it took six to 10 years to train a pilot for jet operations.
She must be dreaming.

Tape it shut - I totally agree. There has to be one or two training establishments around worried about their gravy train drying up.
