NAS is dead so the new acronym is SDE (Service Delivery Environment)
These Airservices shiny bums aren't as silly as we think. Divide and Conquer. It's worked before and it'll work again.
A little bit down the track ... pitch ATC(High Density) aginst Flight Service(Regional Services) and High Density will happily siddle up to Aiservices if the usual promise of ... "all this will be yours one day" .. is given.
Love it !

It may even be as successful as the ML Centre vs. BN Centre competition.
And TCU consolidation.
Can you imagine if their was a (truly independent) Royal Commmission (with an open terms of reference) in to Government involvement in Aviation in Australia?
Well actually - it would probably take 3 years, and would be so damning, it would just turn in to a political bun fight of passing the blame.
But hey - what a show it would be!!
Funnily enough, someone who would probably have a lot of questions to answer is predicting just that.

... if I get any itchier I will bleed 
.
.. and stuff the RC (The little bloke and his ilk can knobble them) ... 'separation of powers' is the answer .. he cannot stop that, particualrly if the argument can be made (and it can) that political skullduggery was 'likely' involved in the safety outcomes!!
.... pick a court .. any court 
.
'Mods' ... a hypothetical:-
.
.. If a musing (from a usual protagonist) was available on the web, and it was reproduced here (de-identified) without the link to the originating site (so as to not promote) … could we copy post it (modified to de-identify the author) and then address the statements made for the purpose of discussion and correct/contrary public information?

Peuce,
I reckon you're on the money. AsA has been watching Qantas do this to its' organization "successfully"
for the past few years and is following suit. AsA splits itself into 3 seperate business, each competing. Eventually each ATC crew will be paid differently, work very different rosters (might even be able to cut out doggoes and Sundays, reducing leave entitlements and pay rates), and provide very different services. We'll end arguing with each other about conditions rather than uniting and further down the toilet we go.
Heavy RPT get "an improved level of service" (what they pay for) at a much cheaper cost price to AsA (don't expect Asa to give much of it back ). Everyone else...you don't pay, you can't play.
