It is indeed a 'mass debate!!'

I wonder how many ATCs this huge wankfest could have paid for?

Why does "I have a vision for Australia's future - RUDD", need actors and journalists to help him with that vision?

Just because you have starred in an Uncle Toby's commercial, does it make you one of the 1000 brightest in Aus.

I guess that is why some academics withdrew from the summit, they could see the direction it was headed.

I spoke to Teflon Kev at the Wankfest 2008 and he took on most my ideas for aviation and that included:

1. From 2008 no GA pilot shall live in poverty and he endorses a minimum wage for a Cessna C206 pilot in Northern Australia of $52,000 plus super etc and a 38 hour week.

2. No GA pilot will spend more than six months flying a single engine aircraft before progressing into a multi-engine aircraft.

3. The entire Australian GA fleet of ****boxes will be scrapped and replaced with new equipment asap, which will include working avionoics, EFIS and air-conditioning as minimum.

4. All GA pilot housing on remote communities will include Foxtel/Austar so pilots don't have to endure Imparja TV .

5. Each GA pilot will be issued with his/her own IFR approved GPS and laptop computer.

6. Grade3 Instructors base rate of $52,000 plus super, Grade2 base rate $62,000 plus super, Grade1 base rate $72,000 plus super and a CFI starting from $100,000 plus super.

7. Like wise aircraft engineers will be offered more dollars, increase apprentice intake across Australia.

8. To keep Maxine happy I said we can do with a few more women in aviation to keep it all equal etc.

Kev007 thanked me for my presences at Wankfest 2008 and my valuable contribution to this great gathering of minds.

Tinpis, I swear blind JG looks more like this old turtle that hangs around my tinnie on the Currimbin creek. Take the shell off and she looks the same.

......Julia Gillard, hmmmm isn't she 'Baron' endorsed?

The only trouble with the 'Wankfest' is what next? How can you top the biggest waste of tax payers money we have seen for a long time!

What will the next foreign people be like towards us we they take over this land & say sorry many years latter & plunging us back to the dark ages of awful T&C's? ........... Oh I forgot their already here doing just that under the guise of CEO's!,

You couldn't go Capt Wally, because you would have to leave early in case they needed you to appear in RFDS on Sunday night.

ps Capt Wally you going have a serious talk to the young bloke from Dubbo all he was worried about was his missus's wedding dress!!!

yeah 'stationair8' yr right, me thinks am gunna have to take to this Dubbo guy with a base ball bat! One of the funniest things I ever heard from a legal eagle (lawyer) was ...............the next time you want to get married just go outside & when you bump into the first women you come across on the street buy her a house & get it out of yr system ! Good advice that esspecially to pilots!

Now I must be away here, the TV director wants a low flyby in a Nomad.....whoooops wrong series !

Now, get back to work, the lot of you






When Labour deliver the next budget they should put some money aside to buy Kevin a personality. Kevin gestures like a muppet and can`t even remember a good night out on the piss. Hawky please come out of retirement and help Kevin as he is an embarrasment to Australia`s image abroad and he looks too much like a white chinaman.
