Reading the BITRE report on GA statistics reminds me of the Monty Python "Ex Parrot" comedy sketch.

The report neatly skirts around what actually matters to the Australian economy - Aviation contributions to jobs investment and growth. I pity the poor bastard who had to write it.
Whilst you may view the growth in the mustering and allied industry as simply "blathering", those of us that work in those industries would disagree with your puerile summation.
Further to that, I find your input to commercial aviation to be humorous to say the least. Perhaps get a job in the commercial side, rather than build yourself a little toy aircraft, and you may have a different viewpoint.
