Mildura Rednecks wreck our fair go reputation

Bad news travels fast. Mildura police need to stop these bogans once and for all. Pity the unsuspecting students copping this racist attitudes by a few redneck idiots.

How the hell does a civillian aircraft cunducting flight training IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM have similarities to anything going on the the South china Sea.

I am in no way condoning what china are doing there but ffs, lasering training aircraft is somehow tit for tat ok because they have chinese students?

When you've got bogan idols like Clive Palmer and bogan rags like the Daily Mail stirring up nonsensical hate towards training of Chinese pilots it's no surprise things like this are going to happen. Just an extension of racist attacks against those of Asian appearance in Australia since the media decided to fear-monger over coronavirus.

It's no wonder the Chinese don't just totally withdraw investment in Australian aviation given the nonsense they're being subjected to by the locals. They should be courted. They (and some other foreign owned companies) are the only ones putting money into Australian GA. I wonder how many Aussies (most of them quite young and new in their careers) are kept employed because of instructing Chinese students? No Australian seems to want to invest in GA. Could anyone look a newly graduated Grade 3 Instructor in the eye and tell them they're being made redundant because they shouldn't be training Chinese pilots in this country?

Well, I've exercised my free choice and now only buy Chiko Rolls in lieu of Spling Lolls!.

Ah, where would the Green Left be without the ABC to alert them of the latest bogan ‘atrocity’.

No racism, hatred or bigotry in the inner-city, no sir.

Michael West Media is another one jumping on this bandwagon as well.

Now that CAE appear to be ceasing operations at Tamworth due to Coronavirus we will see the sort of impact these flying schools (read Chinese investment) have on a regional towns (and the overall economy).

The trouble is that you have to get out of bed very early to make sure you don’t get screwed by overseas investors.

I never imagined a CEO could also be a “Mayor” in the same sitting. Hmmmm? Wouldn’t there be a conflict of interest here? Potential for subterfuge. I would like to hear from the students. Get the allegations first hand.

If there was withdrawal of Chinese students or reduction (local economic downturn) as a result of the virus, wouldn’t it be better to blame alleged local racists as apposed to a world pandemic? Just thinking out loud.

What ever happened to the airport CEO, the ‘Garden Gnome’ Bill Burke? He is normally a very loud and proud control freak of his airport. I believe he snuck out the door quietly not too long ago. Maybe working for a Chinese consortium?

We need to stamp out the racism. As we need mainland Chinese investment and capital so our economy isn't crippled and we can spend money on expensive American defence equipment so some can live their fantasy that we will have to fight them.

But really, bogans are a national tragedy. A failure of our opportunities and education

And, a question.......

Did the affected aircraft have 'Aussie' or 'Chinese' instructors aboard?

Just curious is all.......

Cheers

Virtually all instructors and staff members at any of these “Chinese” flying schools are Australians or westerners. For the generally flat economies of rural towns they provide an important source of skilled employment.

I didn't know bogans understood VHF radios. Given they know the frequencies, understand single duplex jamming and have radios these "rednecks" might in fact be your winged brethren voicing their patriotic beliefs. Depending on how things turn out (unlikely) you might be eating your words in the future as a collaborator!

I do not condone lasing aircraft........... but I've been lased flying into third world places plenty of times and it's no big deal. You see it coming and have time to look away. Report it to the tower for the benefit of those behind and move on. These laser pointers are 'blink safe' at close range and do nothing other than distract at longer ranges. And it's probably good training for these Chinese pilots given the places they will eventually fly to!

The bigger safety hazard would be the constant and overpowering fetid stench of rotting fish in unflossed teeth being breathed in close confines.
