The Honorable Goblin, member for West Island, for Minister of NZ relations.
I have a feeling the Trans Tasman agreement would fall over pretty quickly

'S8' why would I wanna be in charge of porn censorship? In the words of 'HH' (the real 'Howard Hughes').............."why not, who doesn't like tits"

When you really think about it we are all involved here as politicans, aviation is the most politically controlled/run business known to mankind here in Oz!!

Thanks Cooda! Too many skeletons though...that's the trouble with politics. All your crazy exes come wandering out of the cupboard with Woman's Day exclusives...Next thing you know you're answering questions about all sorts of personal habits you'd rather your Dad didn't know about ...

I will put my hand up for the position of 'politician who gets busted with booze/ drugs/ hookers'. I am particularly interested in the salary package for this position, as well as any of additional perks associated with such a prestigious positions (Chairman's Lounge?). I promise to be vague, insulting, and as hard to pin to anything as water to a hotplate.

The amount of crap pollies do and the amount of crap there is on pprune [I admit there are a few posts of mine] I reckon we'd all be in for a running.

I propose to name our political party - *drum roll please*

PPRUNE!

Political Pilots Rumour Network....

Fairly sure we'd be so far out to the right we'd be going around in circles...

Although we all think that becoming a politician would be on the nose, what we could do is market PPRUNE(DG&P) as a Specialist Contractor.

When the pollies want a new airspace system in, contract us to " work out the details" and implement it.

Smooth as silk ...

Having followed a few threads in my short time on this board, I could only imagine a PPRUNE political arm would end up something like this.



Then again, most of the arguments on here would go away if the regulations were written by pilots.
