Having read the report it glosses over many areas, then having read CASA's reply in the Australian all I can say is it isn't just General Aviation in this country that is suffering.
Over regulation, nanny state rules and politicians that are more interested in self than nation all lead us to where we are today.
I know you cannot go back to the 50's and 60's but we need to take a good hard look at ourselves and who,leads us.
If Barneby Joyce had the BALLS and stood up to CASA then the whole aviation community would be behind him. But no he is forced to follow the mantra of party politics and staying in power at any cost.
The result is another industry destroyed.
For my part I still believe in General Aviation and try to make it happen.
