Airservices CEO, Jason Harfield, stepping down
As I said in my first post on this thread - the announcement gave me no joy or hope.
On 5 May, Kharon in their The Sunday Brunch Gazette (AuntyPru) posted the following
I read elsewhere that it was a Cabinet decision not to re-appoint Harfield. If so, then where does this place the Minister of ASA, ATSB and CASA? And where does this leave the ASA Board? Was the Board unanimous in their support of Harfield, or was it a split decision?

In the governance of 'matters aeronautical' case, the avoidance of 'responsibility' has become an expensive, exquisite, rarefied art form. Anyone who believes for a minute that sacking Halfwit Harfield and even his Board will correct the consequences of avoiding responsibility is dreaming. The corrections required demand Ministerial not departmental intervention. The sums of money needed to effect the changes is outlandish - but money and spin alone will not correct the flaws nor shoo away the negligence inflicted. IMO the Minister should bring charges against Halfwit Harfield and his Board for gross negligence, dereliction and gross incompetence; accept the responsibility a crown minister has to the public and return Australian airspace to world best standard.

Aviation in Australia is in the third world mess it’s in mostly because most people don’t know who’s responsible or how to hold them responsible.
On a social note, does anyone know the contact for Jason's farewell. I'm guessing it will be necessary to get your name in early to make it onto the guest list. Also where do we contribute to the farewell gift?

There is no Minister “of ASA, ASTB and CASA”. There’s a Minister responsible for the administration of the legislation that establishes ASA, ATSB and CASA, but that’s legislation made by the Parliament. Please read that twice.

Did you ever consider this apparent opaqueness is intentional? If not in it's initial creation, then in its ongoing tenure?

The problem was always going to be who replaces them, and who in their right mind would want to with the current structure? It is the perfect opportunity for the government to take it back under its control and ditch the faux business model.

Agreed.
I'm not sure how this failed system is recovered as the PNR was passed years ago, but something radical is now necessary.
