Has no one read this?

224 pages of waffle and BS? Sorry, I don't have that long left to live.

Just in time: The bottom of my cockie's cage needs replacement.

If you do not read and comment we will be left with government policies that are not helpful to GA. Complaining on pprune is of no help.

Champagne comedy, Vag!

You only have to read the Regional and Remote section in the Executive Summary, and the GA section itself to see where the focus is. It's diverse, inclusive, and 100% green or it's gone.

I read the General Aviation section for a laugh. Plenty of motherhood statements, ideas about growth opportunities, nothing of any real substance.

Speaks of a flying school in Perth using the Pipistrel Velis Electro electric trainer and spruiks it as the future of general aviation. A very optimistic view given the problems with range, weight, and energy density and the fact that they're about $350,000 here, or about seven times the price of a half decent (and still overpriced considering their age!) C150/152.

Almost everything was framed so as to relate to Net Zero or Closing The Gap. Are consultants paid to write this drivel or is it public servants?

The taxpayer pays for public sector officials to engage consultants to write the drivel at the taxpayers' expense.

The sea ice in Antarctica is retreating because there are too many Cessnas flying. Basic Greenwashing 101.

and the resubmissions.
