Keep an eye out for the Opposition Policy please.

Read through it.

Thin as Himalayan air and nothing new for aviation.

Synopsis: NAS is good and will continue.

Airservices will be made a GBE, so it can make evn more profit.

Great news for General Aviation. Not.

Specifically (from the document):

A Coalition Government will continue to modernise Australia’s
airspace system through the continued staged implementation of
the National Airspace System (NAS).

The National Airspace System has already been found by the Civil
Aviation Safety Authority to be safer that the system we have today.

Furthermore, it will deliver improved air traffic services and greater
flexibility for instrument flight rules aircraft, especially in regional
Australia, greater freedom of movement for visual flight rule flights, and simpler, standardised procedures that will make flying easier.

It will also encourage greater participation in the aviation industry, creating jobs in the aviation industry and in regional communities that depend on it.
